Yes the version on the every one of us album is great. I remember this song was a "chouchou" at the Pop Club, on France inter, round 22.00, in 68. I was a soldier then. Great, even better than John Lennon's Instant Karma .
I have that album and it took me some time to find it . I don't think there is any footage of him doing it live ? There are alot of unusual songs on that album , like ' the immigrant lad'. I wonder what they were thinking when they did this.
Absolute history..I tried to explain this to people. The first rap but Aerosmith is still the only thing anyone will acknowledge.

Why Leon Russel?? Zoot Money played the piano. The other band members are listed in the description I posted.

I think this was a shot to the Beatles when they got riped off by that Guru in the 60's....

Mmh... Not quite, as he was with the Beatles when visiting the Maharishi, as was Donovan...
Anyone remember Burdon's "A Girl Named Sandoz" ? This was - to me - the twin sister of this song...

I think Jamaican Deejaying styles emerge a bit earlier.

Could be but I think Burdon is really the first rapper in music history.
