A nice lazy Sunday vibe! That London bus syndrome arises again as Lance Ferguson released another track from his forthcoming
"Rare Grooves Spectrum Vol. 2" yesterday (21 Jan 2022) (album is due next Friday 28 Jan) and as if by magic a group called
Skyline also released a version of the same track on the same day, which
of course is Kool & the Gang's classic "Summer Madness".
The song has been sampled literally hundred of times by the likes of Snoop
Dogg "Doggy Dogg World" (1993), Ice Cube "You Know How We Do It" (1993),
Aaliyah "A Girl Like Me" (1996) and, probably most famously, by DJ Jazzy Fresh
& Fresh Prince "Summertime" (1991).
I've included some great vintage footage of Kool & the Gang performing the song 'live' on Soul Train back in the day, 'probably' 1975, as it was originally released as a B side to "Spirit Of The Boogie" which was their third #1 US R&B hit and Summer Madness reached #36 so it must have been flipped.
