A signature song by the Lovin' Spoonful, it depicts the hustle and bustle and atmosphere of city life.
This memorable single features "Summer in the City," which reached number one on the US charts. John Sebastian's songwriting and Mark Sebastian's harmonica create a sound that remains a classic example of 1960s folk rock and has a timeless appeal. This classic song beautifully combines the depiction of a hot urban summer with a light, upbeat rhythm.
