Mungo Jerry is one of the most famous one-hit-wonders in rock history. In 1970 the seasonal anthem "In the Summertime", a bluesy skiffle pop song, went directly number one in England, stayed for weeks at the top and also reached the Top Ten in the USA. The selling of the record ought to be between 8 and 16 million copies around the world. Although Mungo Jerry released several albums in the 70s and still works on stage today, frontman Ray Dorset found himself unable to emerge from the shadow of this classic summer tune.
