So many songs take me back to summertime, but many from the movie Woodstock stand out, especially those by Sly & Family Stone, including Hot Fun in the Summertime. The Lovin’ Spoonful’s Summer in the City, Hush by Deep Purple, Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress by The Hollies, Wild World by Cat Stevens, and Cherish by The Association all evoke specific summer memories. – Barbara Drew

Certainly not my favorite, but the prompt instantly made me think of Mungo Jerry’s In the Summertime. – Mike Gianella

You Are My Sunshine. We always sang it together when I visited Janet in memory care. – Michael Howe-Smith

Girls in Their Summer Clothes by Bruce Springsteen, Summertime Thing by Chuck Prophet, and This Summer by Squeeze. – Janet Hubbard

Groovin’ by The Rascals – Geri Koblis

Summertime, by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince from 1991, stamped itself as the consummate summer song that year, and nothing has ever dislodged it. I realize my answers here are making me seem like the biggest Will Smith fan. And although I’ve enjoyed some of his art more than some of his personal decisions, especially lately, I wouldn’t really describe myself as a Will Smith fan.  But that song?  No matter where I am or what I’m doing, it’s summertime when I hear it. – Chris Marietti

Any Beach Boys song. – Lynne Molnar

Quite a few of the Beach Boys’ songs are summer songs, and I’ve always liked Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts. – Chris Piatek

I love Al Green’s Love and Happiness for the summer.  This year it seems especially fitting for the world I’m in.  My home base of Hopewell, NJ is all about singing and dancing together (music together) and baking and singing together (Chubby’s). – Nicole Robinson

Summertime from Porgy and Bess, composed by George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward.  – Jane Root

Anything by The Beach Boys or Jimmy Buffett. – Lynda Shapiro

The Beach Boys—The entire Endless Summer album. – Roger Shapiro

Martha and the Vandellas’ Dancing in the Streets says summer to me. – Anne Sears

All the music from the Playing for Change Foundation. There are many rock and folk classics played together by people all around the world. They are mostly in hot weather. Examples are Higher Ground and Lean on Me. And I love the movement demanded from Body Jazz by Gabrielle Roth. – David Thomas

Anything from the Beach Boys. I was never a fan, but my wife (Michele) was. Wouldn’t It Be Nice, Surfer Girl, God Only Knows, and Barbara Ann. – Joe Schenk

Chelsea Morning by Joni Mitchell. I also like the many versions of Summertime,  including Sublime’s Doin’ Time version. – Sandee Steinberg

A Summer Song by Chad & Jeremy. – Jayme Trott

My favorite summertime song of freedom, If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out by Cat Stevens from the movie Harold & Maude. – Brian Tucker

These Are the Days by Van Morrison. – Dan Tuft

The Beach Boys. – Susan Vigilante
