i love “how far is heaven” by salvador.
the first time i heard it i was in Maui. and ever since then, each time i hear it i think of the beach/summer. makes me happy.
heres a link so you can hear it. the video is cheesy. but the song, imo, is not.

Papa, I was big fan of both Peter, Paul and Mary and The Kingston Trio.
I found the following music by the Jackie Gleason Orchestra on YouTube:
