Summertime's Calling Me is a song written by Johnny Barker (September 8, 1945-October 25, 2023[2]), then of the beach music band The Catalinas, in December 1975. Originally released as a 45rpm single on Sugarbush Records, the song initially had slow growth on the beach music scene.[3] Today, however, it is regarded as one of the most influential and favorite beach music songs of all time (ranging between #s 4-7 depending on the source).[4][5]
