I remember this song and Judy Henske's version of it very well.I first heard it in 1964when I was 15 or so, just learning to play guitar in Goose Bay, Labrador. One of the girls in our nascent little Folk community sang this beautifully, and it still haunts me. Thank you so much for recording this. You've done a beautiful job.

Hey SJ, The Judy Henke version is beautiful and haunting. The Jefferson Airplane version is rocking and almost gospel. Thanks for a lovely comment.

Superb - this is just so *right*. I used to listen to Jefferson Airplane on this - but I like this take better. There is a simplicity and honesty here which really captures the essence of the song...

[misspopanoche]

Thanks Neil, Jefferson Airplane live at Monterey is my favourite version. Our cover was inspired more by Judy Henske who played a huge part of making it so popular. You should see if you can find it.. it's beautiful.

Beautiful. Signe Anderson's version is really special,too. Signe is such a powerful contralto.

Amazing version!! Sounds like it comes striaght out off mid sixties New York...Pot noodle percussion, don't add water I assume? Anthony

[jeffbalfoort]

One of the best versions!!

[shisha86]

Does anyone know where I can find the version from the Au go go singers?

[tommotd]

Very nice, kind of "mellow," version. Enjoyed it and the information provided in the video. (Cut my teeth on the Richie Havens album version way back when.) Have to send this link to my brothers who will love this version too.

Very kool version....you guys really rock

[haworthhoarder]

best version I've heard yet of this great song - congrats !

This is such an incredible song, with such deep emotion! It's a 1960's gem.

However, while Henske (I believe) first played the song, HP Lovecraft mastered it, adding better vocals and instrumentation.
