I actually have three albums that inspire me in the summer. Those have to be Stevie Wonder's Hotter Than July, Janet's The Velvet Rope, and Prince's Come album. Those are the ones that I play every summer, front to back!

The B-52's Cosmic Thing

Donna Summer's 1977 album 'I Remember Yesteday' stays in my CD player all summer long.It has a vibrant,summery feel to it.It reminds me of that magical summer of '77,when the hit single "I Feel Love" was all over the radio

The Isleys have always reminded me of summer, especially these albums. Something about their sound always felt like sunshine and warm nights. tunes like:
