I should have watched the video before asking - that was it! Granada TV in one of their more creative moments (they did concerts by Jerry Lee and Ella Fitzgerald the same year). Rosetta sang an impromptu version of "Didn't It Rain?" (and got the reaction from the audience) because the heavens had opened and delayed the open-air performance.
