who originally sang Here Comes Summer?
 

I have a version of it in my Dave Clark 5 CD. Doesn't sound like something that group came up with.

Thanks,

HERE COMES SUMMER - 09/10/1959
1 week at #1- 14 weeks on chart

Here comes summer
School is out, oh happy day
Here comes summer
I'm gonna grab my girl and run away
Here comes summer
We'll go swimming every day
Oh let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

Well school's not so bad but the summer's better
Gives me more time to see my girl
Walk through the park beneath the shiny moon
Oh when we kiss she makes my flat top curl

It's summer
Feel her lips so close to mine
Here comes summer
When we meet our hearts entwine
It's the greatest
Let's have summer all the time
Oh let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Almost June, the sun is bright
Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Drive in movies every night
(Double feature) Double feature
Lots more time to hold her tight
So let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

Well I'll want to hold my girl beside me
Sit by the lake till one or two
Go for a drive in the summer moonlight
Dream of her love the whole night through

It's summer she'll be with me every day
Here comes summer, meet the gang at Joe's cafe
If she's willing, we'll go steady right away
Oh let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home
(Oh let the sun shine bright) here comes summer time at last

-Jerry Keller





Congrats on your 6000th post, with so many on the front lines.

Re: "Here Comes Summer"
 

Dear Sixto and Marty,
I happened on your postings and mentioned it to my husband who found the following info: (Joel Whitburn's "Billboard Top Pop Singles 1955 - 1996):

"Here Comes Summer" by Jerry Keller first appeared in the Hot 100 on 06/29/59 and reached the peak position of #14 and remained in the charts a total of 13 weeks...

I'm not into music stats (or stats of any kind, really) but my husband is TOTALLY into it, more so since his retirement... He also just went online and checked www.recordresearch.com to verify and "Here Comes Summer" is not on "Billboard #1 Pop Hits."

Like I say, I wouldn't have even replied as I know nothing about such stats but he is so into it that I had to do this posting... Now he's happy! LOL!!!

ps - I'm into Mercedes and he's into oldies - both music and movies...
