This piece from American Songwriter offers a curated list of four 1960s tracks the writer considers ideal for lazy, sun-soaked afternoons, spanning artists such as The Kinks, The Zombies, The Beatles and Donovan. It's a light lifestyle-and-music feature rather than hard news, aimed at readers looking for a nostalgic seasonal playlist.

The selections include The Kinks' 1966 hit "Sunny Afternoon", The Zombies' "Time Of The Season" (notably released after the band had already split up), The Beatles' "Dear Prudence" (with honourable mentions for "Here Comes The Sun" and "Good Day Sunshine"), and Donovan's 1966 track "Sunshine Superman". Each entry is accompanied by the writer's brief commentary on its lyrics, mood and suitability for summer listening.
