Summertime -- Downtown Science: Dropped the same year as Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince classic. But dig the D-Sci's version more; a forgotten gem on one of hip-hop's most underrated albums of all time.

Fania All Stars ~ Smoke

Nuyorican Soul feat. India ~ Runaway

Basia ~ Astrud

Gary Toms Empire ~ 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Blow Your Whistle

Still rock this song till this very day...

Gloria Estefan ~ Wepa

Kris Kross feat. Supercat ~ Alright

For YEARS, two of my favorite all-time summer jams are:

The McCrary's "Love On A Summer Night" and

Central Line's "Walking Into Sunshine." Hope y'all have a fun 4th and are safe.

Nocera ~ Summertime Summertime {Club Mix}

Duran Duran ~ I Don't Want Your Love {Big Mix}

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five ~ Freedom

Me too, just like the song says.

I'll go ahead and post the obvious:

"Drums please!"

a-ha - Summer Moved On....

I hate hot weather.

I have very pale skin, so I can not go outside in the summer without sunscreen , burns after a few minutes of exposure to the sun. I prefer cooler weather

Jose Feliciano ~ Hard Times In El Barrio

2 from "Do the Right Thing"

Sweet Sensation ~ Take It While It's Hot {Long Vocal}

Jimmy Castor Bunch ~ Bom Bom

Bobby Jimmy & The Critters ~ We Like Ugly Women

LOVE this song by an American group that was huge in Germany in the 90s but never really made it here:



Also, this one:

Gipsy Kings ~ Bamboleo

Oak Ridge Boys ~ Bobbie Sue

The Monkees ~ Goin' Down

Newcleus ~ Jam On It

Bardeux ~ I Love The Bass

Double Dee & Steinski ~ Lesson 2
