The Brothers Four - The Green Loves Of Summer

Back to the summer songs. The Brothers Four were a group from the folk revival era of the late 1950s-early 1960s. "The Green Loves Of Summer" was written for the John Wayne movie The Alamo, and as has apparently been done for movies from time immemorial, it was decided that if a hit single could be managed, it would help boost the movie. The Brothers, then at the height of their popularity, were selected for that task. Apparently it succeeded pretty well. For what it's worth, one of the first things I ever learned on guitar was that opening minor-to-major chord change.
