NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD:

MFSB recorded this theme LP dedicated to the summer season. As expected it conveys the easy laid back and relaxed mood that one associates with summer.

No chart busters here but a commendable effort for fans of MFSB. Certainly an easy listening MOR type of record. Best cuts include Summertime, Hot Summer Nights, We Got The Time, Sunnin' and Funnin.'

Reader Comments on M.F.S.B.

MFSB - Summertime, Summertime and I'm feelin mellow, Picnic in the park! An incredible LP. The premier soulful disco phila powerhouse! Gamble & Huff! The MFSB adaptation of Gershwin tune Summertime is incredible! Many groups attempted to try converting classical to disco and failed. However these talented musicians took this music to new heights with grace and respect for the original compositions. My hat goes off to these musicians for capturing one of the bright moments in disco music history. MFSB was ahead of the class!!! They were responsible for many disco anthems. Including my number one of all time "Love Is The Message" !
