I remember this from my teen age years...boy does this bring back memories...
@djdavemick
Like their 2 earlier hits "...Alone Now" and "Mirage", what I thought was an organ is actually an Ondioline--forerunner of the synthesizer.

Very interesting! That time in the 1960s, there were a lot of new types of keyboards being used, including the Mellotron and marimba. Such an exquisite period in music history.

This hit by Tommy James and The Shondells hit #25 on the Top 40 charts and #21 in Canada. I saw Tommy James in May 1980 at the Carowinds Amusement Park Paladium near the NC/SC border near Charlotte.

1967 - So long ago but not forgotten.

These guys are touring now or in a month or so.. I am suprised how many songs were theirs. I remember the songs more than the artists usually. Great song!
