William KaffenbergerHearing this song after so many years inexplicably brought me to tears. Personally, I think this is the best thing they ever put on vinyl. This song by itself puts to shame so much of what passes for music these days.

John WatsonI was a student at the University of Texas when this song came out. I already was a fan, but this became my favorite song. 50+ years later I still enjoy it.

Daniel Golus
Daniel GolusGood song. But the stereo mix is absolutely dreadful. Let's have the 45 RPM mono mix instead - the way we all heard it on the AM radio in 1967.
