Lyrically, vocally, and instrumentally, the Seals & Crofts hit, "Summer Breeze," has held up strongly since 1972. The relaxing images it evokes hold up in any era, accounting for its omnipresent place on oldies and soft rock station playlists.
If "Summer Breeze" appeals to you, give Bobby Broom's cover of it a listen. Hear how the guitar and organ honor the original version's spirit while bringing out the tune's bluesy undercurrent. Hear how the tune works just as well as an instrumental that should be a staple of any smooth jazz station's playlist.
