Chad & Jeremy "A Summer Song"

American Bandstand. November 28, 1964

[@joelewing4498]

Dear God.....can we please go back....just for an afternoon? Ohh...I loved this when I was 10 in 1965....still love it now. Those of us my age and perhaps a little older who might be reading this.....do you realize how absolutely great we had it musically then? Even though most all our cars had dinky little am radios only, with a horrible speaker upwards in the center of the dashboard's top...it just seemed like every song....one after another after another.....was a winner. We were so lucky. So very lucky.

I remember my mom dancing by herself in the kitchen when I was 10 years old to this song. Shes almost 90 now and in a nursing home needing 24 hour professional care. This sparked a recessed memory of a wonderful time in my life. Although we can't go back, I just did. Tragically she doesn't know me sometimes. Miss you mom, you were a great dancer and an exceptional mom.

Chad and Jeremy were distinctly part of the "British Invasion" of the mid to late 1960s that brought fresh British Theatre and fashion trends to the streetwise American rock scene. It was often said by he British " saved rock & roll". Saved from what? Saved it from missing out on the gently, culturally artistic dimension of the performing arts.

The lyrics that capture the loss of a summer love in 1964 are followed by the the loss of sanity in 1968 Tune in turn on and drop out Dr Timothy Leary Riot and burn down your own cities to Build Back Better Sound familiar?

[@kirkbready3848]

This was released at about the time of our 1st anniversary(July, 1964). We were just beginning to understand that we had entered what would be the "good old days" of our lives. That began our 7-year honeymoon before our first baby arrived. And because of the beauty and goodness of Susan's spirit, those days went on for the 50 years we had together in our private world.. But the magic of the sixties, perfectly captured in the playful innocence and joyful harmonies of the music, could not last. A darkness began creeping over the land, driving our nation and much of the world into a fearful meanness that leaves its music harsh. In her last loving words of comfort, Susan told me, "Grief is natural, but let it be brief. The cure is remembrance and gratitude, for one another and all we've shared." So on lonely nights I turn here to relive Chad and Jeremy, The Momas and the Popas, Spanky and Our Gang, the Association and all those days of love and laughter. Thank you, KZbin.

I'll be forever grateful for having had you as a teacher. One in a million.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Interesting story, they're obscure and virtually unknown in the UK having charted just once in 1963 with their first release that made no.37, just about profitable enough to allow the record company to give them studio time and musicans to record an album, in the hope that it may pay for itself and allow a small profit, which it just about did.. Subsequent releases were made solely with the American Market in mind and were never promoted in the UK as they sold poorly

[@DB_2_0_1_4]

He was an interesting man to listen to. Had been involved in ‘The Screaming Abdabs’ who later evolved into Pink Floyd… “Tell us about your time in the band, Sir” was a bit of a recurring request, but he didn’t give too much away. Glad the studios made enough to keep them going. I listen to this song often - it’s timeless.

+tom g Freakin A I ask myself the same thing lol It was a great time to be young. The music was phenomenal. I'm glad I was there even though I'm old now.

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

I remember all those years, but seemed to pass so quickly! I was a school teacher for 30 years, used to tell the kids to quit being in a hurry to grow up! Older lasts forever, youth is a one time journey!

[@deborahbrown6408]

Rhonda Boncutter Yes so true!! My older sister used to say, when I was young,(18yrs. difference) youth is wasted on the young!! I didn't really "get it" back then, I do now😘

Chad Stuart, of the English singing duo of Chad & Jeremy, died on December 20th, 2020 at his home in Hailey, Idaho of pneumonia. He was 79 years old... Between 1963 and 1966 the duo had eleven records on Billboard's Top 100 chart, one made the Top 10, "A Summer Song", it peaked at #7 {for 2 weeks} in October of 1964... They had two Top 20 records, "Willow Weep For Me" {#15 in 1964} and "Before and After" {#17 in 1965}... Surprisingly, they had only one charted record in their native England, "Yesterday's Gone", it reached #37 in 1963... May Mr. Stuart R.I.P. Note: Their above performance is from the November 28th, 1964 episode of 'American Bandstand'...

Trees, swayin' in the summer breeze, Showin' off their silver leaves, as we walk by. Soft kisses on a summer's day, Laughing all our cares away, Just you and I. Sweet, sleepy warmth of summer nights, Gazing at the distant lights In the starlit sky. They say that all good things must end, some day; Autumn leaves must fall. But don't you know, that it hurts me so, To say goodbye to you? Wish you didn't have to go; No, no, no no! And when the rain, Beats against my window pane, I think of summer days again - And dream of you. They say that all good things must end, some day; Autumn leaves must fall. But don't you know, that it hurts me so, To say goodbye to you? Wish you didn't have to go; No, no, no no! And when the rain, Beats against my window pane, I think of summer days again. And dream of you. And dream of you...

Why do people write the songs out... we can hear it!!!

[@barbaramack2897]

@@druidprincess9942 I appreciate that someone does - very much. I'm a shower singer. I like knowing the words to those songs in my repertoire. I only just realized that Eli's coming and the cards say a broken heart. I have sung it for many, many years as . . . and God save a broken heart. Having this courtesy allows me to at least disturb my neighbors with the right words. The lyrics are the first thing I look for in the comment section. So a much deserved thank you from me.

Beautiful harmonies with their voices, enticing accents with brass and strings and the final pièce de résistance of ending the ballad on a picardy third. This was truly music for the soul.

[@mazinwonderland3077]

I use to think that I, was the only one who got emotional when hearing this song. So blessed to be young in the 60`s. x

Hello Marianne, How are you doing?

[@keithfritz6280]

Didn't everyone have a secret or not-so-secret "love" then in 1965? Mine was Kathy and every time I hear this, guess who comes to mind. 56 years later, I still think of her. We were fifteen then.

Chad &Jeremy's songs always remind me of those years of my youth ... years full of dreams. Love this duo. RIP Mr..Chad Stuart.

Haven't heard this song in many years. Brings back childhood memories.

The summer of 1964 was magical. Unlike the tragic summer of 2020. I'll be glad when this year is over, I'm running out of happy memories!!!

[@stevieg7672]

I wasn't even alive in 1964 (I wouldn't be born for another 38 years), but I would rather be there than in 2020, the most crummy year I've ever lived through.

Im 13 years old and wished i was born in those early years to just listen to those good old yer music. it sucksm

[@ttiger9780]

These guys, Peter and Gordon, Peter, Paul, and Mary, and, of course, The Beatles, made me want to learn to play the guitar (I was thirteen in 1964). Still playing and singing after all these years.

I was 11years old in the summer of 64. Even then i new it was a special song. On vacation in Table Rock Lake Missouri.
