Yeah, yeah, yeah, summer’s almost over. But here at SiriusXM we believe that summer is endless, so we’re not putting away our bikinis, boards and boomboxes just yet. If you feel the same way, join us this Labor Day weekend as we relive the best of summers past.

From the Summer of Love to the summer of Woodstock, the ’60s had it all. The Brits were hitting our shores as the Beach Boys were catching a wave, and everyone was feeling fine with fun-loving and swinging pop hits, soulful Motown jams, wispy psychedelia, bluesy rock and down-home folk tunes.
