> Don Henley - Boys Of Summer

Trivia Time:

What does "Boys Of Summer" by Don Henley have in common with "Suddenly Last Summer" by The Motels (and for that matter "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts)?

Other than the word "summer" in the title...and being top 10 hits.

(answer below, no peeking!)

















None were originally hits during (Northern Hemisphere) summer.

Boys Of Summer #5 02/85 BBH100
Suddenly Last Summer #9 11/83 BBH100
Summer Breeze #6 11/72 BBH100

Sorry, no prizes will be awarded. The Sales Manager "borrowed" all of my prizes to use as "added value" for a "client". He promises to replace them when he gets back from "vacation". Only in radio, my friends...
