What on earth happened to summer hits? I'm beginning to believe that summers really were sunnier thirty years ago. Here's my evidence:

Beg, Steal or Borrow / The New Seekers

I remember singing this with a hairbrush.

Mexico / Les Humphries Singers

Great use of flanger. The chorus will stay with you for a while once you've heard it.

Seasons in the Sun / Terry Jacks

That sense of death you get in springtime for some reason.

Top of the World / The Carpenters

Soft, warm wind in your face.

Spanish Eyes / Engelbert Humperdinck

Your mother cried when she heard this at the airport coming home from Spain.
