[3] Glodean originally met recording artist and future husband Barry White through a mutual friend.

[3] She was a fan of Viola Wills' single "Lost Without the Love of My Guy", a song co-written and arranged by White.

[3] White wrote "Walkin' in the Rain With the One I Love" with lyrics that were inspired by conversations with Glodean; the two engage in "phoned"-in dialogue on the song.

[4][5] The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on July 24, 1972, for shipments of 1,000,000 copies in the United States.

Allmusic writer John Bush gave it four-and-a-half out of five stars called it "a cohesive album-length meditation on the highs and lows of love, delivered by a satiny girl group trio pillowed in one of the warmest production surroundings yet heard on a pop album".
