This song was composed by John Kay and Rushton Moreye of the Canadian-American band Steppenwolf.
Originally released on their 1968 album The Second it was the lead single peaking at number three in the US, and staying in the charts for 16 weeks, longer than any other Steppenwolf song.
The 45 rpm version is not only an edit of the album version, but contains a different vocal take on the first verse.
Nevertheless, it is the preferred album version that continues to enjoy airplay on FM and today's satellite and streaming classic rock stations.
