"The Gentle Rain" ("Chuva Delicada") is a 1965 bossa nova composition by Luiz Bonfá, with lyrics by Matt Dubey.
Originally written in A minor, this song was first released as part of the motion picture soundtrack[1] of the 1966 film The Gentle Rain by the American director Burt Balaban[2].
The music of the film was a collaboration of Luiz Bonfá as a composer and Eumir Deodato as orchestra arranger and director.
It is also reported to be one of Tony Bennett's favorites[11] and recorded on his 1966 album The Movie Song Album featuring Luiz Bonfá on guitar.
