SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:38 Min.
This upbeat track is performed by Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine for the 1986 Top Gun movie soundtrack. It also appears on the ‘special’ 1999 expanded re-release.
REVIEW:
Considering it’s a dynamite pop song, the real shame is that this tune (presumably, for contractual purposes) isn’t available on any Gloria Estefan album. With its MTV-friendly sound very much tied to the mid-80’s, “Hot Summer Nights” delivers a can’t-miss nostalgia prospect for any soundtrack or 80’s pop playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
