Summer Breeze - Seals & Crofts vs The Isley Bros IT's HOT OUT HERE Y'All!! SUMMERTIME!
Both groups put their STAMP on this tune! The Isley Bros' version is so iconic, some folks in the R&B community never realized it was a cover.
I like them both...depends on my mood and mix for the night.

Both are great versions, but entirely different vibes.
I grew up listening to CBS-FM so I'm more familiar with the Seals & Croft version. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Even though I grew up during that era I actually heard the Isleys version first but I love both. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

I think both versions are equally great. The Isley Brothers in the 70s can do no wrong musically. I think they also did a great cover of Todd Rundregn song 'Hello..It's Me'.(I think I have the song title wrong) | |

Both versions are great, but I'll take the Isleys' version as the better one. For my money, the Isley Brothers give Aretha a run for the best covers act of all time. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Seals & Crofts version, for me by a mile... "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

Both versions are beautiful. Can't choose which one I like best. | |

While I like both versions, I would give the edge to The Isley Bros because of Ernie's mesmerizing guitar in the beginning. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!
