Can You Stop the Rain is the fifteenth studio album by American singer Peabo Bryson.

Following the release of All My Love (1989), his sole return release with his longtime label, Capitol Records, the singer signed with label Columbia to complete work on his next project along with Walter Afanasieff, Peter Bunetta, Rick Chudacoff, and Barry Mann.

Bryson himself became instrumental in composing and producing several songs on his own for the album along with Sir Gant and Dwight W. Watkins.

AllMusic reviewer William Ruhlmann found that with Can You Stop the Rain "Bryson seemed to have reconciled himself to the public's view of him as primarily a balladeer, and he delivered the goods, especially on the title track [...] and on the Cynthia Weil/Barry Mann tune "Closer Than Close."
