Forgotten Treasures

Forgotten Treasure: Society of Seven “Summertime” (1973)

Soul

Hailing from Hawaii, Society of Seven was a group that put out a few slept-on records in the early 70’s. Available only on the “Simply Ourselves” LP (Silver Sword Audio), the cover version of George Gershwin’s classic “Summertime” is a killer both on the Jazz Dancefloor and Soul / Funk scenes.

I discovered the track a year ago in a mix from DJ Pharoah (from Nantes in France) and from the very first listen I was conquered and every one on the dancefloor agreed. A fantastic record which gets even better thanks to a pretty hillarious record cover, the seven band members in white suits with traditional hawaiian beads.”
