What have ALL these entrants got in common?
HOT TIP: The common factor is a word in a song title they sing
Neil Sedaka - his a sad guy
Tina Turner - she talks to it
B.J. Thomas - always trying to stop it
The four seasons - obviously does not own a hat
Fats Domino - has an attitude problem or a phobia
Randy Crawford - saying it three times is enough
The Everly Brothers - this event makes them quite jolly
Ronnie Hilton - doesn't like to run
Then; based on the answer you provide, which entry (from the above list) is the odd one out...and why?
ID the connection and the odd one out

Re: ID the connection and the odd one out
Wow...I did not even see that one! (In a sense you are right about the odd one out), but not the right answer!
OK...just to clarify. The above list are people or groups, not a piece of music as Hans has duly noted!

Here is another tip:
It's got to do with a song that they sing!

Now...if you can get the names of the songs (about rain) that these artists sang, then you can identify which is the ODD one out!

Fats Domino appears to be the only one who didn't have a major hit with 'rain' in the title.
