See You in September

In the summer of 1966 I was 7 years old and spent most of my days wearing only a bathing suit and casually strolling the beach in Surf City, NJ. When I wasn't looking for cool stuff in the sand, I was either body surfing or "skim boarding" and just taking in all of the surroundings. I can still smell the Coppertone that the "shoebies" (a unique name used to describe summer visitors to New Jersey's southern beaches) slathered on. I can also still remember the sound of sea gulls as they hovered overhead ready to dive at any moment for a sand crab or an unguarded bite of unfinished hoagie.

Those days also included music blasting from radios and permeating the salt air, and whether you liked it or not, it couldn't be avoided. I carry many of those sounds with me still, The Four Tops - I'll Be There, Tommy James and the Shondells - Crimson and Clover, and The Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love. I highlight these songs mostly because of the influence of my older sisters, who much preferred dance grooves and the sound of Motown over anything by the Beatles or Stones.

Last week I was reminded of the song See You in September, so I pulled it up and was surprised to learn that I remembered every lyric. The obligatory Youtube rabbit hole ensued and I was astounded that the '66 version I had in my ears all of these years (by The Happenings) was not the original and in fact, the song dates back to June of 1959 when it was written, recorded, and played on the radio in NYC all in the span of about a week. (Highly recommend this Wiki page about the song).

The original version by The Tempos, (a band out of Pittsburgh, PA) did not become a hit, but it does include a cool Latin groove and much the same melody and lyrics as the Happenings version. This version of the tune did have a slight resurgence in 1973 as it was included on the American Graffiti soundtrack.

There are also several other versions from the early 60's:

Here's The Quotations doing a crazy double-time "Doo-Wop" version with beefed up harmonies.

Here's Bobby Rydell's campy, shuffle-swing version with cheesy horns.

The Chiffons gave their version a harp.

Shelley Fabares kept the samba train rolling but added her swooning vocal slides... and an overused triangle. I mean, this ain't Ravel's Bolero right? So more than once is too much IMO.

And let's not forget Gerry and the Pacemakers adding the British back beat and picking up the pace a bit - pun intended.

But The Happenings version nails it for me, starting with a great drum sound and fills. Then there's the tight tambourine part (I loves me some well played tambourine), great overlapping harmonies, a solid yet understated use of horns, and a pretty cool bass line. This all bolsters a very Frankie Valle-esque vocal and for good measure, the single ding of a well-placed service bell!

I hope you'll give the song a play, and if you listen closely, you might be able to smell the shore. :) Have a great week!

Sunnuva. Only one passed. ONLY ONE. We have two months left, and they just conceded a whole month. I wouldn't say, "Inconceivable," because this was definitely in the cards. Bah!

EDIT: The House did pass H.R. 4366, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs.

You want to do business hereabouts in August? No, thanks…maybe see you in September

holidays? yes, please…call me a lazy European. I’m enjoying myself Was driving the wrong way on the Autobahn on Tuesday, because my wife made a silly mistake, and I was completely okay with it. Although it was eight kilometres out of the way, for a grand total of 16 altogether, I didn’t care. We laughed, she felt terrible and then I jokingly pretended to be really disappointed. We called my…
