Threshold

Manchester, Count Basie clowns around with Annie Ross as she shows him The Twist. Trinity Mirror / Mirrorpix.

When I was nineteen I shared an apartment in Manhattan with the jazz singer Annie Ross, and it led to my doing something I now wish I hadn’t. She was fifty-eight at the time. It was We were on the sleepy northern end of York Avenue in a giant postwar building, one with a semicircular driveway in front and two columns of balconies on the facade. The apartment belonged to my girlfriend’s step-grandmother, who lived off and on in Los Angeles. Annie was an old friend of hers and would usually stay there when she visited New York.

The term “song of the summer” has permeated the pop culture sphere for decades. A New York Magazine article outlines what sets a true summer song apart from the rest. According to author Mim Udovitch, three requirements must be met for a song to be eligible for the elusive “song of the summer” title — it&#;s released in summer, it&#;s simplistic and it’s impossible to forget.

It’s true that not every song released between May and August is a rosy-cheeked, cheerful crowd-pleaser, but when it comes to the song of the summer, it typically checks all three boxes. The song of the summer is intoxicating, with glistening production and a hook that’s stickier than the season’s humidity. It’s a reflection of summer itself, a refreshing escape f
