Scott Shannon is playing Summer Songs all weekend long on The True Oldies Channel ... https://trueoldieschannel.com/ ...
So we're opening the polls up for two more weeks to allow all of The True Oldies Channel listeners to cast their votes for their All-Time Summer Favorites ... which means that Forgotten Hits Readers can vote again as well!
And to help you do so, at Scott's suggestion we're running a list of titles that have been scoring well in our 2020 Poll ... already some 30,000 votes strong ... which may help inspire a few songs for your own favorites list. (You'll hear a TON of these songs on Scott's program this weekend.)
Summer songs can be songs with the word summer in the title ... songs about summer ... songs that inspire that good time, fun in the sun feeling ... or songs that were big hits during the summer that may just happen to make a particular summer very special in your own memories.
Vote for up to twenty of your favorites and email your choices to kk@forgottenhits.com (just click the link). Polls will officially close on Friday, August 14th.
And then be listening over Labor Day Weekend as Scott plays back The Top 100 All-Time Summer Favorites on his LAST BLAST OF SUMMER WEEKEND!
