Summertime The Jamies

It

Both 'Summertime' and its b-side, 'Searching for You,' are often described as doo-wop, because of their time period and their a cappellaharmonies. However, both songs may also be described as pop versions of Sacred Harp styles,[original research?] as the group started as church singers[citation needed] or possibly an early example of baroque pop.[original research?]

Several singles followed 'Summertime, Summertime' (many written or co-written by members Jameson and Feller, though Summertime, Summertime was by Jameson only)[citation needed]; but none of these were hits. In 1962, 'Summertime, Summertime' was re-released, and became a hit again, this time peaking at #38.[1]

The song's fame far eclipsed the band's; The Fortunes, the Doodletown Pipers, Hobby Horse, Jan and Dean, The Legendary Masked Surfers, and Sha Na Na all covered the tune, and it was used in commercials for Buick, Ken-L Ration Burger Time Dog Food, Applebee's and McDonald's.[2] It was also featured in the 1978 filmFingers.

Tom Jameson died from cancer on July 19, 2009, at the age of 72.
