It is HOT here, in the 90's, and I am trying to remind myself of things I enjoy about summer. So far the list is short: frozen fruit pops, flip flops, and beach music.
"California Sun" was a hit for The Rivieras in 1964. It made it to number 5 on the music charts. The Rivieras were a band out of South Bend, Indiana (interesting! I always assumed they were from California). They had a unique sound which featured an organ. Their name was inspired by the Buick Riviera.
And here's the song - enjoy some fun summer sounds! If you have a moment, would love to hear from you about how your summer is going! What are YOUR favorite things about summer?
If you've read this blog long, you know that I love The Beach Boys. I really love beach music and summer music in general. "I Live for the Sun" by The Sunrays was a 1965 hit -- and it sounds a lot like the Beach Boys. Today is Memorial Day in the United States, and sort of the unofficial start to summer ... so I thought this would be a fun song to share with you.
