Lordy, it's Abraham, Martin, John and Dion. I so LOVED this in '68, but now it's just way too schmaltzy to my grown-up ears.  Harp glissando!

If we ever got a deep track from Steppenwolf (instead of "Born to be Wild" for the billionth time) it would REALLY get my motor runnin'.

BOS2 Jimi, stuck in traffic.

George's guitar gently weeps. Actually, it's Crapton's.  BOS3

I've never forgiven the late Kenny Rankin for flubbing the lyrics on his smooth-jazzy cover of this.

OMFG! Speaking of long versions: Vanilla Fudge keeps me hanging on. BOS6 for the sheer insane overblown pomposity of it all.
