THE TIME CAPSULE: HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME. More retro tomorrow.

<<<THE T⏳ME CAPSULE<<<

 

HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME

Sly & The Family Stone

1969

U.S.A. - #2

Trivia:

"Hot Fun In The Summertime" contains a dig at Motown and The Temptations specifically. Sly Stone, who wrote the hit, felt that the label often borrowed from his group, hence the line "I cloud nine when I want to" (a reference to the Temptations' hit "Cloud Nine"). Ironically, the single was shut out of the #1 position by "I Can't Get Next To You", a chart-topping disc from The Temptations!
