A week ago I updated 13 Powerhouse Radio Summertime Favorites to the new list below.

The original thirteen songs were mixed from my vinyl or CD library to a standalone CD in 2007. Unfortunately modern cars no longer have CD players.

One song was not included this time: "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer" by Stevie Wonder. Just an oversight.

Today, the summer playlist is expanded to sixteen tracks lasting fifty-nine minutes.

My current automobile without CD player does have one USB port. Two previous cars had a couple of USB ports in each vehicle (without CD players).

Time marches on! Today, this playlist lives, as one premixed track on a thumb drive that I can listen to at home, in the office, or while driving.

You may want to try it as a Spotify playlist.

The song order has been updated from the older version to maximize emotional enjoyment:

1. "Picnic In the Park" - MFSB
2. "Summertime" - Will Smith
3. "Summertime" - MFSB
4. "Summertime" - Janis Joplin with Big Brother & the Holding Company
5. "Summertime" - Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
6. "Summer Snow" - Blue Magic
7. "Indian Summer Love" - Con Funk Shun
8. "My Sweet Summer Suite" - Love Unlimited Orchestra (Barry White)
9. "Summertime" - Billy Stewart
10. "Summertime" - Sam Cooke
11. "Summer Madness" - Kool & The Gang
12. "It's Summer" - War
13. "Hot Fun in the Summertime" - Sly & the Family Stone
14. "Long Hot Summer" - Jimi Hendrix Experience
15. "Summer Breeze" - Isley Brothers
16. "Cruel Summer" - Bananarama
