"Here Comes Summer" was a 1958 song, which was written and performed by Jerry Keller.[1] The song was produced for Keller by Richard Wolf and released on London Records.[1] In 1959 it reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100,[2] and No. 1 for one week in the UK Singles Chart.[1][3] It was Keller's only hit either side of the Atlantic.[1]

Alternate versions

It was also recorded with different lyrics by The Dave Clark Five in 1970, but was not as commercially successful. The pop band Child released the song as a single in 1979, again with different lyrics from Keller's original, but it also failed to enter the UK Chart.
