Indubitably!

[@TheFlo1967]

I just lost my brother to lung cancer this past Nov 13th, 2024. He is the reason I know all of this great music. Now that I don't have my big brother, I can still say I have his music to keep him alive in me.

[@Sandsculptor]

I came home from the Vietnam War in August of 1969. This song was just released at that time and I loved it. I went home to Pennsylvania, picked up my wife and we drove all across the USA to my stateside duty station in San Francisco... the home city of Sly & The Family Stone. Every A.M. station was playing this song on our car radio all across the USA. I bet we heard that song about 100 times on that 8-day drive from Harrisburg to San Francisco. And since I had just come home from the war... my wife and I indeed had a "hot time" in that 1969 summertime...!!!

Song gives me hope in the middle of Quarantine 2020!

[@transformationclass5054]

sly has an insanely awesome voice. sensitive and powerful. wow.

One of my favorite things about Sly and the Family Stone is the way they'd each take a line themselves every now and then. You can hear an example in the chorus. The bass singer, Larry Graham, would go on to have quite a solo career in the mid 70s into the 80s.

Here in March 2021...66 yrs old..still listening...they my all time fave funk band

[@granvillewalkerjr.8394]

This song and others like it from that era are immortal. Even when the founding generation that grooved to this classic when it was new will be long gone, a new one will rediscover this magic all over again.

There have been many great songs written about the summer, but I think this one's the best...

[@dawnbruning1121]

I’m 63, I was 13- 14 yrs old when I started listening to them. Never get tired of it!

[@christino9405]

I bought this album when it first came out. Love this ensemble, collaborative group so much. One of the best, most definitely. 😍🤩💝💖

[@mariastewart8810]

The voice that was Cynthia Robinson lives on.

[@themagus5906]

Cindy & Jerry got a message that's sayin' -- "all the squares go home!!!" My neighbors, Cindy & Jerry, have no idea what I'm talking about when I say this to them. Ha ha.

[@cconeafter909]

[@philturner6642]

What incredible beautiful feel.. what the hell happened to fabulous music such ad this.

[@maggieking6619]

I'm 71, which means I was born a year later in 1953....they can bash boomers if they want but we made real music, fought against dishonesty and corruption, war and the nukes, equality form Blacks, migrant workers, women, animals and Mother Earth. I still listen to my rock n roll, and still fight for the same groups (including myself). Get up and dance. Peace.

Best Summer song

[@HerbertCarlisle4123]

Hello🖐Barbara, how are you, how is everything over there?

[@kennethburruss4488]

Summer isn't official until you play this one. So far head of their time and that's what makes them timeless... Sly & The Family Stone forever

[@obedirect5491]

This one & Prince's Sex in the Summer.

[@robivy9987]

I'm 69 years old and this takes me back to a time that will forever be unique. People knew how to relax and have fun back then. It is sad that things are the way they are with so much violence and hatred in our country.

[@shirleybutler2623]

OMG Rob you just hit a homerun with those comments 💯💯👌

[@markbass9402]

You forget the LA riots twice and Rodney King. Vietnam war. 9-11 . It just keeps on keeping on. Its human nature.

[@mamaboocee]

This cut was so far ahead of its time. It made my feet move then and still does now. I can't help singing along! What a treasure of a group of musicians. Just letting the talent flow with nothing in the way. It all sounds like they just recorded it last night. I can just smell and feel the 70s when i hear this.

[@matta.5363]

Take it from a "came of age in the 60s" Valley Boy, this is the song to play when you're cruisin' through Topanga Canyon on your way to Will Rogers. Follow it up with the theme from A summer Place. Roll down the window and just let the sun and wind fill your hair.
