Sly and the Family Stone - Hot Fun in the Summertime

Has to rank as one  of the best summertime songs done in under 3:00! Love the horns and piano work. Great harmonies, and everyone gets a chance for singing at least a line! The summer of my youth. Take me back, please! Peace.

sierria, sorry about your brother too. This song was a new release just before I went into the Army.

My favorite Sly song...thanks.

YAH BLESS U SIERRIA!!!  I am so sorry to hear such sad news about your brother...I sat here and cried because that was my brother too eventhough I probably never knew him...I lived in WATTS in the 70's about 103rd and Wilmington Blvd. RIP WILLARD WILLIAMSON
