An actress, singer, talk show host, and author, the multi-talented Reese first started singing in church in her hometown of Detroit when she was six years old. By the age of 13, she was touring with gospel great Mahalia Jackson; then, at 18, she formed the Meditation Singers and became the first performer to bring gospel music to the casinos of Las Vegas. Reese expanded her musical repertoire as a vocalist with the Erskine Hawkins Orchestra and began recording albums, with such hits as "Don't You Know" and "And That Reminds Me" in the 1950s. She appeared extensively as a guest on the top television variety series, logging more than 20 appearances in one year on The Ed Sullivan Show on the CBS Television Network. Reese was nominated for a Grammy Award as Best Female Soloist in Gospel Music in 1987.
Tapping into her other skills, she was host of a television talk show in 1969-1970, then began guest-starring in such series as Sanford and Son, The A-Team, Crazy Like a Fox and Picket Fences. She starred in the CBS Network series Charlie & Co. and The Royal Family. Reese's current projects include a new album based on her 27-city tour with her revue, "Some of My Best Friends Are the Blues," as well as song on the Touched By An Angel Soundtrack. Her best-selling autobiography, "Angels Along the Way," is published by G.P. Putnam's Sons. Reese also starred in the telefilms Emma's Wish, with Joanna Kerns, and The Secret Path, with Ossie Davis.
Come On
Della Reese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
You're gonna' love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
In this classic, Come On, Della Reese sings about an unrelenting, unwavering love that will endure through all life's ups and downs. The song begins with the singer promising her lover that she will love him like nobody has ever done before, no matter the situation, be it rain or shine. The love is described as high as a mountain and as deep as a river, meaning that it's an all-encompassing love that is not limited by any external factor.
The second verse dives into the dynamics of the relationship, stating that when they initially met, it was one of those typical, random encounters. However, the singer further emphasizes the point that the love she and her partner share is different from any other relationship, and this is something she's willing to uphold. The chorus reinforces the idea that their love will endure through thick and thin, suggesting that they will experience both happiness and unhappiness together, and they will weather every storm that comes their way. The final line, "I'm with you always, I'm with you rain or shine" once again signifies the indissolubility of their bond, no matter the circumstances.
