I remember going to Coney Island beach as a kid, not for the sun or the sand but to hear thousands of portable radios all tuned to WABC. I wasn’t reading Billboard or Cashbox at the time, but I could tell how popular a song was by the thousands of voices that were singing along.

Here are my favorite summer oldies with the original clips in no particular order.
