One of our favorite Forgotten Hits polls allowed the readers to vote for their All-Time Favorite Summer Songs.
Now that didn't necessarily mean the song had to be ABOUT Summer ... or even come out IN the Summer ...
It was more of a "mood thing" ...
Which tunes best evoke that "Sound of Summer" feel and make you want get out and have some fun in the sun?
We took your votes in 2001 ... and then again in 2006 and 2010 ... in fact, Scott Shannon even turned the results into an annual countdown on The True Oldies Channel! And each and every time we polled the readers, the same song came out as your All-Time #1 Favorite Song of Summer.
With The First Day Of Summer right around the corner, today Forgotten Hits salutes your Top SWEET 16 Favorites.
(You can catch the WHOLE list here ... and, browse around a bit and you'll find the biggest songs of summer for every year of The Top 40 Rock Era, 1955 - 1980!)
