The Lovin' Spoonful

Songs of Summer, Part One

As summer winds down, let's explore a two-part article series on songs with 'Summer' or 'Summertime' in title:

Let's start with the essential summer songs from Lovin 'Spoonful in 1966 # 1 hit called "Summer In The City". The cut was originally a poem that was written by Lovin 'Spoonful band leader John Sebastian's brother, Mark. John worked with the poem a bit and added a Gritti beginning, one with multiple voltages. Band member was bassist Steve Boone a piece of music that was written for piano, which was not fit any other song that the group did at the time but it fits perfectly with the new song.

"We hired an old man, obviously from the radio era, and he had old acetates of traffic jams and car horns," remembers John Sebastain. "We listened for hours to various traffic jams and car horns and selected the ones we wanted. We found a pneumatic hammer … to provide the payoff for that selection and make it all together. "

In 1964, John Sebastian excited by the Beatles and their music and was inspired to make his own four-man band together. While he was on his way through the south, he met people artist Mississippi John Hurt. One of Hurt's songs included the line "I love my baby from lovin 'spoonful" and the name the group was prepared. The band went on to score many other Top Ten Billboard hits including: "Do you believe in Magic" (# 9 in 1965), "You did not need to be so Nice "(# 10 in 1965)," Daydream "(# 2 in 1966)," Rain On The Roof "(# 10 in 1966) and" Nashville Cats " which peaked at # 8 in 1966.

One of the world's most recognizable 'summer' songs is a 1970's cut called "In The Summertime" by the British pop-blues outfit Mungo Jerry. The band name comes from a character from TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (which was later adapted and published for the musical Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber). It was the group's first hit single, reaching # 3 on the U.S. Billboard charts and the song reached the top position on the charts in several other countries including an astonishing seven-week stay at the top of the British charts. The album sold over 16 million copies worldwide and was Britain's best selling single in 1970.

Interestingly, the British publishing (Dawn Records) had a maxi-single, which played at 33 rpm instead of the usual 45 rpm. The record also a second song on the A side ("Mighty Man) and a much longer track on the B side (" Dust Pneumonia Blues "). It also came with a great picture sleeve and sold for just a little bit more than an ordinary 45 rpm, making it an excellent value for the music consumer at the time.

In 1995 Shaggy Jamaican-American reggae singer covered the song (UK # 5 U.S. # 3) But he changed a line of the song to reflect modern values and common sense. In the original version, called lyrics people to "have a drink, have a drive …" while Shaggy's version says "I'm going to ride and ride …" This part of the original recording was also used in 1992 in graphic British television public service ads warning viewers not to drink and drive. The song has also been recorded by Elton John and Bob Dylan.

"In The Summertime" was written by Ray Dorset, who was the group's lead singer and was already a veteran performer when he formed Mungo Jerry in 1969. His first band, Blue Moon skiffle group, featuring Phil Collins on drums, was formed when he was eleven years old. The song was used regularly in many different advertising and has become one of the world's most recognizable songs. Many years later, it became the world's most played radio song and one of the most successful summer songs ever, with an estimated 23 million copies sold.

Another instantly recognizable summer song is psychedelic-funk number, Sly & the Family Stone called "Hot Fun in the Summertime". The song was released in 1969 shortly after Woodstock, where the band performed a memorable set, and used their popularity, and reached # 2 on the U.S. pop charts and # 3 in R & B chart.

Listening to the song, it is dedicated to all the fun elements of summer, may, if further investigated, has served as a commentary on the race riots in the late 1960s, depending on one's opinion. "Hot Fun in the Summertime" was intended to be included in pieces "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf agin) "and" Everybody Is A Star "as part of a new album from Sly and the Family Stone, but LP was never completed, and the three tracks were instead included in the band 1970 Greatest Hits LP.

The song was mentioned by Genesis singer and drummer Phil Collins as one of the musical inspirations for the cut "misunderstanding." In addition, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at # 247 on their list of the 500 best songs ever.

If you were around in 1972, you can not help but remember cut "Summer Breeze" by pop singing duo of Jim Seals and Dash Crofts. The song was Seals & Crofts' first charting single, reaching # 6 on the U.S. pop singles chart and # 4 on the easy listening charts. Their main demands until this point was join up with the Champs (who released the Latin-colored instrumental "Tequila") in 1958. They went on to release several 70's pop-rock gems, including 1973's "Diamond Girl" and 1976's "Get Closer".

In 1974, sliced covered by Isley Brothers, where it only reached # 60 on the pop singles chart, but topped out at # 10 on the R & B Singles Chart and # 16 on the UK Singles Chart. The Isley Brothers' version is notable for the harmonies of the three vowels by the brothers O'Kelly, Rudolph and Ronald vocalist, and guitar solo by younger brother Ernie. A remixed and updated version called "Summer Breeze (Tsuper Tsunami Mix)" was presented in two commercials by clothing retailer Gap, which contributed models Bridget Hall and Jessica Miller in 2004.

"Summer Breeze" has also been recorded and covered by an eclectic range of artists, including George Benson & Al Jarreau (cooperation), the three tenors (in concert during the 1996 farewell performance at the Coach and Horses Tavern in Windsor, Ontario). main ingredient, Ramsey Lewis, and the Gothic-metal band Type O Negative in the opening credits of the 1997 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer, among other

We will continue our look at some popular 'summer' or 'summer' songs in the second part of this article series.

It sometimes feels as though the Lovin’ Spoonful have been reduced to a footnote in the history of rock & roll. Yet few of their contemporaries could match the likes of “Daydream,” “Summer in the City,” and the transcendent “Do You Believe in Magic?”–a song that can still turn January into June. Legend has it that the Spoonful auditioned for The Monkees, and they’d have been good in those roles, …

An attractive package of great Lovin` Spoonful material, BMG/Camden`s Very Best of the Lovin` Spoonful doesn`t neglect the many and varied hits of one of America`s most fun-filled `60s groups, but it also pitches in a few left-field classics that didn`t make the charts. Any listener who still needs to own the band`s most familiar songs — "Daydream," "Summer in the City," "Do You Believe in Magic," etc. — will find them in abundance. But the 18-track compilation also allows space for a host of examples of John Sebastian`s winning flair for quirky, melodic songwriting: "(Sittin` Here) Lovin` You," "Nashville Cats," "Darling Companion," and "Lonely (Amy`s Theme)." ~ John Bush Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

Includes liner notes by Dennis Diken.All tracks have been digitally remastered.Having recorded four albums (one of which was the soundtrack WHAT`S UP TIGER LILY?) in slightly over a year, the band was on a shockingly strong roll here (which began to unravel after the release of HUMS, when Zal Yanovsky left). Then all of 22-years old, John Sebastian penned all the songs for HUMS. The album opens with "Lovin` You," a perfect confluence of pop and jugband music, and it closes with their biggest hit, "Summer In the City." In between are the classics "Rain On The Roof" and "Nashville Cats," along with a host of lesser-known, but no less ingratiating numbers from the short-lived but prolific Lovin` Spoonful.

John Sebastian was a lyrical genius and master craftsman of short, humorous love songs. Lengthy titles said exactly what they meant, as with "Didn`t Want To Have To Do It" or "You Didn`t Have To Be So Nice" (with its unforgettable intro), both of which are glorious. With their jugband roots, Sebastian, Boone, Yanovsky, and Butler were no slouches at good-time blues either–for example, "Bald Headed Lena" and "Jug Band Music." It is, however, the title track that brings the biggest smiles and happiest memories. As indispensible as the Beatles. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.

However, besides the massive hits of the title track and the slyly funny "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?," a good chunk of this brief album consists of snappy, slightly electrified versions of traditional American folk songs like "Blues in the Bottle" and "The Sportin` Life." The combination of these slices of juiced-up trad folk and Brill Building pop, like the Mann/Weil hit "You Baby," works better than one might expect, because John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky, the leaders of the group, seem to make no distinctions between the two styles. Later albums would be even poppier, but DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC has a folk-rockin` charm all its own. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.

A Spoonful of Ginger

$22.48

From Nina Simonds, the best-selling authority on Chinese cooking, here is a groundbreaking cookbook based on the Asian philosophy of food as health-giving. The 200 delectable recipes she offers not only taste superb but also have specific healing properties according to the accumulated wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.The emphasis is on what’s good for you, not bad for you. It’s primarily a question of balance: eating in harmony with the seasons; countering yin, or cooling, foods (spinach, tomatoes, asparagus, lettuce, seafood) with yang, or hot, foods (ginger, garlic, hot peppers, beef) and neutralizers like rice and noodles.Feeling tired? Ms. Simonds offers a spoonful of ginger in her hearty chicken soup. A cold coming on? Try Cantonese-Style Tofu (to sweat out the cold) in Black Bean Sauce (healing to the lungs and digestion). Your immune system needs building up? Wild mushrooms (a cancer deterrent) are tossed with soba noodles (a stress reliever). Concerned about cholesterol and clogged arteries? Instead of giving up all the foods you love, indulge in Yin-Yang Shrimp with Hawthorn Dipping Sauce.Whatever your health concerns may be, you will find the right restorative and satisfying recipes. Babies and toddlers have special needs, as do adolescents, pregnant and menopausal women, the aging–and all of these are addressed with specific recommendations. The wealth of information Nina Simonds offers here derives from her extensive research into the evidence amassed over three thousand years by practitioners of Chinese medicine, and from her interviews with leading experts today in food as medicine, who offer their firsthand testimony.It is all here in this remarkable book. But, above all, it is the range of dishes, from the exotic to the earthy, that will convince you that you can enjoy marvelous food every day–relishing its good taste and knowing it is good for you.
