One of the best pop-rock groups of the late Sixties Flower Power hippie generation, like The Sunshine Company and the Merry-Go-Round, and many others. Peace, brother, Peace!
Love these records posted here. I feel like we are back in those great music years...sitting at your house on a Sunday afternoon...listening to records with you. How many kids travel to and from their friends house, toting their vinyl LPs and 45s along with them, today? So glad I grew up in those years myself...
@MrDHiland Funny, maybe I'm too literal-minded, but at the fadeout I want to hear an iron-lunged old-school DJ...our host's username is just *too* evocative of a particular time and place, of transistor pocket radios and hazy summer afternoons in the shadows of grimy tenements. (Btw, I was born in 1974, and I love to death both vinyl records and the great music often contained in its grooves. Long live the oldies!)
the summer of 1967 was the best .......hippies the summer of love was in its beginings remember my lost love ....its true sunday will never be the same
One of the greatest songs of my youth! Really miss the music of that era-it had soul and spirit, not like today's so-called "music" which is nothing but off-key chanting. Elaine's powerful and wonderful voice reminds me of Mamma Cass Elliott. I love the harmony-something that it now a lost art. Bring back the Swingin' Sixties!
I just turned five when this song came out but I remember it very well. And no...Sunday will never be the same. I remember when stores were closed on Sundays back then and it was truly a day of rest. This song truly brings those memories back to me. Great post!!
Very much a summer-of-'67 radio oldie, but it remains a powerful trigger and a particularly good example of perhaps the greatest of all pop genres: 'joyous melancholy' [a lost genre]. Sadly, this is not a record that has ever sounded right on CD — too much separation in the mix and lacking that dreamy/flowy near-echoey sound. Must be heard on vinyl, as in this video clip.
ive lived , everything this group sings about in this song--and bravo--to make it sound so Good. makes you think better appreciate life when its good.
NO way, Radio WABC, cusn brucie. My older brothers and sisters used to listen in Jersey in the 60's. We had an old big tube radio that was on while they got ready for school. I grew up in the 70,s, when FM was becoming popular. WPIX FM. No static at all...
I STILL have this Great 45. Of the greatest Era....that's been replaced by Crap technology,Superficiality,materialism and SUBMISSIVNESS to the powers that be!
@FTWEVERYONE lol you're crazy this song has nothing to do with politics go listen to Rage Against the Machine if you're looking for hate-filled music exhorting mayhem and dumpster burning...

This was one of the most underated songs of the time. Thanks for posting it. You made a child of the Sixties very happy.

Always liked the 45 record labels.
I had "Quinn the Eskimo" by Manfred Mann on Mercury records...exact same lable. First thing I thought upon seeing it held up.

What I wouldn't do to have those wild and fun days of the 60s back. Most of today's music can't compare to the priceless songs of the 60s.
