Wow, their cover of this song is so reminiscent of The Manhattan Transfer jazz group! Since Spanky and Our Gang precede Manhattan Transfer, it makes one wonder if the group had stayed together (they broke up after the untimely death of their lead guitarist in October/1968), they could have grown to produce a jazz-type album and had great success with it. This group reminds me of my early years in high school in Atlanta...great memories!
Great version of a great song. I had the album on a 4-track tape cassette in 1968 and played it constantly. 4-tracks were precursors to 8-tracks. My favorite on the album. Nice to hear it again.
This great tune is from their album, "Like to get to know you" The song is great, the album is great and it contains my favorite song, "Like to get to know you"

Wow! One of my all time favorite songs by a group i've enjoyed for a long time. I didn't even know that they did this song. A great version.
