Not finding a topic devoted to summer music (incredible!) I decided to launch one myself. Okay, it's already August but better late than never.  Grin

This is my favourite right now: "Her Face Forms In Summertime" by The Future Sound of London. That guitar sound is to die for! Roll Eyes

Great to see this topic taking off.  Smiley

Here's another I consider to be a quintessential summer song, "Summer Breeze" by The Isley Brothers:

Immediate song by reading thread title - "Summertime Callin'" by The Catalinas.

Summertime’s Calling Me by The Catalinas is one of the masterworks of Carolina beach music. Hopefully it’ll get a lot of new fans from being played on the Sirius XM channel that replaced The Beach Boys one.

The funny thing is, much as many famous Christmas songs and records were actually written and cut in summertime, the Catalinas’ song was written in December 1975... during a snowstorm in the Great Smoky Mountains, no less. More on that here:
