Musical Interlude: In The Summertime (1970)

Mungo Jerry singer Ray Dorset composed the group's worldwide #1 hit, "In The Summertime", he says, in about 10 minutes while on break from his job at Timex.

And for those of you who've thought Dorset was Mungo Jerry, well, be prepared to have a reality check.



The band took their name from a TS Eliot poem. Unfortunately, they ended up a 1-hit wonder here in the US.
