Another selection offa that "Summer Showerz" mix.
This one is the Isley Brothers, who I have been ultragillin' as of late. Charlie and I are a two-man fan-club.
Oh yes, now that you mention it, this is a cover of Seals and Croft's "summer breeze", but this version is much better. Better, I say, than that yacht-rot version. Who would you trust to tell you about summer, these guys
or these chumps

The above is a representation of what this mix is like: all laid back 'vibez'. The Isely Brothers' song is a good li'l snapshot of the general feel of the mix as well.
Just a reminder, here is the tracklisting for this really stellar, star-studded mix.

Croft goes by the first name of DASH.
Jus' sayin'.
(although his real name is Darrell, so, you see, right???)
