Summer of ’69

Happy 65th Birthday to Bryan Adams!

On this day 40 years ago, Bryan Adams released his ‘Reckless’ album. Remarkably, it featured six top 20 songs, including today’s feature, ’Summer of ’69.

“Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah”
