Summer Breeze is a gem by Seals & Crofts. I first heard it having lunch at Duck Inn, VA Beach '73.

Many thanks to Deb, Chris, and Forrest for playing this classic for me. It will remain on my playlist of favorites as long as i live. Hearing it takes me back to the Summer of '73 when i was a young boy having lunch with my older cousin and brother at Duck Inn, Virginia Beach. Now, here's some of the story of this song, according to Wiki: "Summer Breeze" is a 1972 song by American soft rock duo Seals and Crofts. It is the title track of their fourth studio album, and was released as the album's lead single in August 1972. The song reached No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US. In 2013, it was ranked No. 13 in Rolling Stone′s "Best Summer Songs of All Time".[3] The song also became a hit for the Isley Brothers in 1974. Original Seals and Crofts version Released nine days ahead of their 1972 Summer Breeze album, Seals and Crofts' original version reached No. 6 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the US that same year. Bruce Eder of AllMusic referred to it as "one of those relentlessly appealing 1970s harmony-rock anthems ... appropriately ubiquitous on the radio and in the memory".[4] Seals and Crofts performed the song live on the Bobby Darin Amusement Company variety show in 1972. The song has also been featured in many movies including Dazed and Confused, Land of the Lost, Vacation, Vacation Friends, and Tron: Ares. It has also featured in a number of TV series including Freaks and Geeks, Family Guy, The Mindy Project, and Lioness. A remixed version of the song was featured in a commercial for the Gap in 2004,[5] (featured on the What Is Hip? Remix Project One compilation album and colloquially titled the Tsuper Tsunami/Philip Steir Remix) and the duo would also re-record the song for their album Traces later that year, which became a hit on the Adult Contemporary charts.
