The so-called ‘Flower power’ movement was comprised of the generation that spawned this lyric, as well as a significant proportion of the white kids that vigorously supported civil rights.
Always loved the Staple Singers and Buffalo Springfield and For What it's Worth but never new they (the Staple Singers) covered the song....thank you!
Just noticed that the cover on the 45 says 'Stop hey WATCH that sound' on the cover (at :14 and 1:37)...pretty funny.
This is such an amazing version of this song, I have to get my hands on this 45 myself. Pops Staples was amazing on the guitar, he is still very much missed. His legend lives on through his music and his talented children. Thanks for posting this.
This should be played in a Vietnam movie

@13heavymetal WORD! Imagine "Lord of War" begin with the original, and then with this cover. Un-freacking-touchable, like a freacking blur!

With all due respect, Jimmy: "RIP Flower Power"?
I can't see how the Staples and whatever you consider "Flower Power" are mutually exclusive.
In 1967, we were all pulling in the same direction.

It did get an official release on Colombia but was almost immediately withdrawn because the Staples had signed to Stax

It's obviously a great version of the song, but I also liked the actual video, good job on it. It was done unusal but in a good way.
