Sorry, only one from my side. And I hope you do not mind that I was already 16 in 1970. But Mungo Jerry/In the Summertime was and will ever be the definitive summer song for me.When the weather hits these temperatures and I’m able to enjoy them I’m inextricably drawn to the sort of songs I heard on the radio when I was between 5-15 years old. And then it’s not necessarily songs I’d listen to normally.
I’m currently listening to a mix of Top of the Pops and Jackie compilation CDs.
So instead of anything cool I gravitate towards Mungo Jerry, David Dundas, Smokie, Suzie Quattro, Hot Chocolate, The Real Thing and God forbid even Terry Jacks - you get the idea.
I love the Billie Holiday version posted earlier, but this is rather splendid too:-
