Is this the band Benjamin Orr was in?
-
@mndandy It was first performed by Peter, Paul and Mary, as the opening track of their album "In the Wind". Two members of the band have songwriting credits.

@anonUK Probably just a folk song. Peter, Paul and Mary did a cover of it on their album "In the Wind", if that's any indication.

I really like this version. I think I like the version by The Skeletons the best.
-
Was this rock version of a Gospel song or something? Does anyone know what genre the original was?
-

I've listened to a few others too since so many kind Youtubers have educated me on this song. This is the best I've heard so far as well (in my opinion anyway)

The Grasshoppers weren't an actual "Christian" band, they were just doing a pretty straightforward cover of a1965 Hollies LP track, right down to the guitar solo. The other side was a cover of The Searchers Suger & Spice. I recall a pic of them dressed in some goofy outfits.
Lead Singer Jiggs Lee went on to form Cain, whose '75 LP "A Pound Of Flesh" was noted for its gross-out cover & is quite collectable. Jiggs was very outrageous on stage from what I'm told! So much for the Xian angle.....
