@noacesnone Thank you, you are right; I misinterpreted Mr. Lightfoot's comments attributing his getting into show business to PPM's recording a hit version of this (his song). So many have recorded this song, demonstrating influence and achievement. I also forgot to mention the Grateful Dead recorded it, but then, what great thing did they not do at one time or other?
Ronnie Hawkins, used to play with the Hawks, before they became The Band. Peter Paul & Mary wrote this, performed in perfection such beautiful harmonies, then Gordon Lightfoot covered it with his touch, & credited his career to this big hit. Jerry Reed did a similar smooth version, Paul Weller, and the Kingston trio, & lovely Eva Cassidy added her soulful magic . O & Elvis, he did it too.
Haha ... I remember ... " Rock-it time!! " or was it "Racket time" ...it doesn't really matter ... just what a good time it always was ... .. thanks for great memories ..

@mythtree Sorry - this was written by Gordon Lightfoot and covered by PPM. Both great versions though.
