I had read an article that was basically an interview with Joe Bataan. He says that both he and Tommy Shondell had recorded their joints like simultaneously but Tommy's was released first (something about Management involved) so although Joe's version did go gold that because it was released after Tommy's version it did not sell as well.. I am an old school R&B guy and this version back then and still today does the job completely & succinctly PEACE & LOVE

This is a very good remake on the original by Tommy James & The Shondells. It has a very lively beat. I enjoy it.
