Woke with a strong sense of the melody of this song, but only a very vague sense of the lyrics and no clue about the recording artist. I found it by googling the only bit of lyric I could conjure: "when you make your mind up." Now that I'm hearing it, of course it's
Donovan. I thought maybe
Turtles,
Small Faces, but knew I couldn't quite get a bead on it. The magical internets also tell me that
Jimmy Page (then of the
Yardbirds) and
John Paul Jones (later also of the Yardbirds; both soon after of
Zep fame) play on the track. Kind of an epic song in the rock canon, it seems, and good trivia for a future pub quiz!
