Recording information by SuzieQ992-Reaper51GOLD

The countdown to Summer begins........ yay! Have a great week everyone! :):<)

I hope it isn't going to be a cruel, cruel winter and I think if I had to sing the word "cruel" one more time, I would have cried!
Always love going back to the 80's...........................
Thanks for popping in to listen!

"Cruel Summer" is a pop song originally performed by Bananarama that was a top ten hit in Britain in 1983. Sara Dallin of Bananarama told The Guardian that the song “played on the darker side (of summer songs): it looked at the oppressive heat, the misery of wanting to be with someone as the summer ticked by. We've all been there!”

Released in 1983 (UK) and 1984 (US)

Yes, it's hard to believe that it came out so long ago Baz. I remember hearing it on the radio alot that year... I was busy planning our wedding - we got married in '84

Good night everyone and I look foward to returning your listens after I get some zzzzzzz's!

Hi Suzie. I remember this one very well and you did a fantastic job. I like that the backup singers are relatively quiet and we get to hear your wonderful vocals :0).
Hopefully it's not a cruel winter....especially for the Grey Cup game (Go Riders! lol)
Hugs, Dave
