International Artists 128, 1969
It's had quite a few plays, but it cleaned up purty good.
I don't think it made too much of a dent in the national charts, but it was a huge hit on Chicago radio. Always loved this song, despite its psychedelic bubblegum cheesiness. One of the first things I attempted to learn on guitar was that riff.

That is amazing. What a solid riff. Little bit cheesy on the lyrics, but an absolute stonker of a tune.
Since International Artists Records was from Houston (and run by Kenny Rogers brother Lelan, btw), this was a hit single in north Texas via 50,000 watt blowtorch KLIF 1190 back in the day. An early psychedelic pop metal classic!
