I saw that Scott -- @teamfreak16 -- did a series of songs welcoming summer, which begins on Monday. As I didn't see this song on his list I wanted to welcome summer with my favorite "summer" song:
The Summer Wind
Is there any description needed? "Ladies and gentlemen, Francis Albert Sinatra." You're fully informed. You know it's going to be good.
Let me tell you where I first heard this song, speaking of "summer songs." This was the last song that played before Don Henley took the stage when I saw him on the Building the Perfect Beast tour in 1985. Of course, his "big hit" off that album was "The Boys of Summer." And that's my favorite "big hit" of the 1980s, bar none. But even Henley can't match the beauty of Sinatra's summer song.
Happy summer! Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen!
