Song of the Day (13) - Summer in the City by The Lovin' Spoonful

Hard to resist this summer song on these hot days.

There’s a great story of how Cass Elliot brought together John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky, the primary founders of The Lovin’ Spoonful. She invited them to a party at her Manhattan apartment to watch the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show and convinced these two jug band players that they should form a band.
