An amazing year, a transition period from R 'n' B/ Sould into....something else. Some amazing 45s released while Pop started to evolve into something very interesting and a new word, little understood, a little feared and acting as a catalist, began to get whispered about in the bohemian underground enclaves....psychedelic.

[with lyrics!]

The Turtles musta got some great weed and a hit of acid for this one. P. F. Sloan's songwriting skills excel here like they never did at any other time, in my humble opinion.

No doubt, in my mind and to my ears, this is the greatest song from 1966 that I never heard at the time.
It sums up the spirit of the 60's and it's a sure thing I'll have it played at my funeral!

Hope you like it.
