Gary Puckett and The Union Gap were formed in San Diego. They had 7 Hot 100 singles with 6 making the Top 40- this was the end of the line- the last one for the group. Their six Top 40 hits all made the Top 15. Gary Puckett was born in Hibbing, Minnesota. Obviously this wasn’t a case of something being in the water.
I somehow (thankfully) missed hearing this one back in the day, as it never got airplay on San Francisco Bay Area radio stations. A nice sentiment in the lyrics, but a pretty insipid song nonetheless.
I had never heard it before either.
