"It Might as Well Rain Until September" is a 1962 single by Carole King, written by herself and Gerry Goffin.

King's demo version of the song was released as a single on Dimension Records and it became a hit for her.

This is the reason why all digital releases of this recording are of inferior quality compared to other songs of this era.

[2] Carole King had two small children and did not have any interest in traveling the country to promote the record.

Despite that, King was ultimately persuaded by Don Kirshner and Gerry Goffin to appear on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, where she lip-synched to the record (as was almost always done on the show) and, unlike many other performers who were given good ratings, was given a terrible rating of a 42 out of 100 by the Bandstand kids.
