Jerry Keller - "Here Comes Summer"
(b/w "Time Has A Way")
(Jerry Keller)
Kapp Records single K-277 X (stereo cassette audio source)
Originally released in May 1959 and peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart shortly thereafter.
Another appropriate song to kick off the summer season; this was also Keller's one and only major hit on both sides of the Atlantic!
Audio comes from the 1991 BMG/RCA Special Products compilation cassette "Summer Songs", which I bought at a local thrift store way back in 2007 (and still have to this very day).
BACKGROUND:
"Here Comes Summer" is an American popular song which was written and performed by Jerry Keller. The song was released on Kapp Records in the United States and London Records in the United Kingdom.
A popular misconception is that this song quotes the line "the sun shines bright" from the Stephen Foster song "My Old Kentucky Home", but this is untrue as the line contained in "Here Comes Summer" is "oh, let the sun shine bright". However, that one line does utilize the melody of Stephen Foster's song.
Released in May 1959, it spent 13 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 14, while spending one week at No. 1 on the UK's New Musical Express chart, and reaching No. 8 on Norway's VG-lista, and No. 4 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade. It was also Keller's only hit either side of the Atlantic.
