Can there actually be anyone who doesn't know or recognise the song In The Summertime? I doubt it, as thanks to the regular use of the song on TV commercials - In The Summertime is one of those instantly recognisable songs. That hit in 1970 was the start of a major career for the band Mungo Jerry who went on to have a number of further hits throughout the seventies including Baby Jump, Lady Rose and Alright, Alright, Alright and while founder member and leader of Mungo Jerry - Ray Dorset - acknowledges his illustrious past, like many artists he has moved on and produced a fine and respected body of work that in addition to the many Mungo Jerry releases includes recording an album with Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green, Vincent Crane (Katmandu) and writing songs for the likes of Elvis Presley, Dr. Feelgood, Bob Dylan, Elton John and many others. The band is still led by Ray Dorset of course who in much the same way as Ian Anderson is thought of as Jethro Tull is seen to be Mungo Jerry and the band is still in high demand for live concerts.
