JIMMY RODGERS "the long hot summer" B/W "oh-oh,im falling in love again" 1958
1950s-60s pop singer, not to be confused with the country singer of the same name....
"A" side was the theme song for the movie of the same name, its almost what youd call a crooner track...
"B" side sounds remarkably similar to his debut hit single "honeycomb" from the previous year..but hey i still love it.
BTw, my favourite track i know of Jimmy is still "english country garden"
the single peaked at #13 on the UK charts...
