"Summer of '69" is a song recorded by
Canadian recording artist Bryan Adams, from his fourth studio album, Reckless
(1984). The song was written by Adams and Jim Vallance, a long-time writing
partner of Adams. "Summer of '69" was produced by Adams and Bob
Clearmountain. It was released in June 1985 under A&M Records as the fourth
single from Reckless. As with most Adams songs, "Summer of
'69" is an up-tempo rock song. According to Adams, who came up with the
title, the number 69 is used in reference to sex, and not the year 1969; his
co-writer Jim Vallance disagrees, however, claiming that it has nothing to do
with the sex position. The song was released with two B-side tracks; "Kids
Wanna Rock" and "The Best Was Yet to Come", which had previously
appeared on the albums Reckless and Cuts Like A Knife respectively.
"Summer of '69" received favourable reviews from music critics. The
single had a strong effect on music charts internationally, with its highest
peak being number four in the Netherlands, and its least successful charting
country being Germany. The track was promoted with a music video, which was
filmed by Steve Barron. The video features Adams and his backing band in a
variety of settings, including running from the police.Listen song here:YouTube
