Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today is the first day of summer, so we're revisiting this Newsletter from nearly three years ago:
http://nnhs65.com/07-20-07-NNHS-Summertime-Summertime.html
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdH9otLtwUs - Summertime Summertime - The Jamies, 1958
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jamies:
The Jamies were an American singing group, led by Tom and Serena Jameson...
The group's 1958 single for Epic Records, "Summertime, Summertime," reached #26 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[1]
Both "Summertime" and its b-side, "Searching for You", are often described as doo-wop, because of their time period and their a-capella harmonies (with a harpsichord backing on "Summertime, Summertime"). However, both songs may also be described as pop versions of sacred harp styles, as the group started as church singers.[citation needed]
Several singles (many written or co-written by members Jameson and Feller) followed "Summertime, Summertime", none of them hits. In 1962, they re-released "Summertime, Summertime" and hit again, this time peaking at #38.[1]
The song's fame far eclipsed the band's; The Fortunes, The Doodletown Pipers, Hobby Horse, Jan & Dean, The Legendary Masked Surfers, Mungo Jerry, and Sha Na Na all covered the tune, and it was used in commercials for Buick and Applebee's.[2] It was also featured in the 1978 film, Fingers.
Tom Jameson died from cancer on July 19, 2009, at the age of 72.

From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 06/20/10 - "Special
Angel":
Carol,
Thank you so much for using the song "You
Are My Special Angel" as a theme. That is the song 
my
dad (Bill Reece)
(31
Mar 1926 - 16 Nov 2009)
used to sing to all his daughters and
granddaughters from the time it first came out until just before he passed
away. I did not have a copy of the words, but had heard them so much I knew
them by heart.
I copied and pasted them and sent them to my 4 daughters, my sister, Kathy and
her daughter. We all agreed this was like a message from Dad to all his girls
at this special weekend for Dads everywhere.
Again, thanks,
Ruthie
OH, WOW!
Thanks so much, Ruthie!
