The New Christy Minstrels - Summertime Love (1968)

[calihartley2010]

What a lovely song. No song of today can compare to this classic

I have this 45,,,wonderful song

[Sarukaisi]

Oh! Great! I love this song. Summertime Love is included CD album "New Kick" as bonus truck (2:57).  But here is (2:38) the short 45version. Wonderful! I also have this US single, but I have never seen picture sleeve. Thank you, TheLimePopsicle.

I must've been 8 or 9 but I remember this song! :) I think my parents must have the album! :) Thanks for sharing it. I haven't heard it since then.

looking for the songs from "The New Christy Minstrels Sing and Play Cowboys and Indians"; anyone have this?

This is an early vocal by Carol Carmichael Parks at 19 years old. Management called her "Kim Carmichael" in The New Christy Minstrels, since there was already another Carol in the group. Strange but true. Following the musical lineage of her parents Ralph and Vangie Carmichael (see Google), she went on to become a much sought after studio session singer, session contractor, and was one of the first female record producers in Los Angeles.

I heard this song one time in 1968 and never forgot it. Finally in 2000 I found a 45 rpm of it at a record store in Newport, KY and immediately grabbed it. It is a great song. I thought about putting it on here myself but you beat me to it!

Does anyone have the complete lyrics to this? There are a few of them I can't make out.

I have always liked the Christys since I heard "The Cat Came Back." They have many other good songs which, by today's standards, are way underrated. I haven't heard this song before, I'm glad I listened!

Lime Popsicle help me find "A Company of Cowards."  It was the first song on the "Advance to the Rear" album

[TheLimePopsicle]

@0Rocket Sorry, I have never heard of it.

[oldfart269]

@0Rocket I might have the song. I had it on a CD that I made. I'll have to look up the CD. If I can't find it, I think I also have the album, but not "Advance to the Rear."

Great band, and a good song. Anyone know where I can find their version of Appleseed John (on the '64 album Land of Giants)? All searches seem to unearth is more lyrics...

[TheRunner75]

I like this one. Check out "Miss Katy Cruel" on my channel in stereo :-)

[samborez]

I've been a fan of the NCM's since Green,Green years ago. I've never heard this wonderful song before. Please accept my thanks for bringing it to me!

[TheLimePopsicle]

You're very welcome!

[samborez]

:-D

A pebble, a shell, hear what they tell.

Daring DJ's of the day had lots of freedom, when the program director wasn't listening....They flipped over Alice's Restaurant, and uncovered this pearl.

Especially in the Vancvouver BC area, where this tune got loads of airplay.

Thanks for tubing it !!

[TheLimePopsicle]

You're welcome!

This makes me think of Ross Hannaman's lovely tune "Down Through Summer", which I had to go look for!:-) Beautiful song!

[TheLimePopsicle]

I like this one a lot too, glad that you commented!
