From 1965-74 The Guess Who had 21 Hot 100 singles with 12 making the Top 40. The rock band from Winnipeg, Canada’s biggest hit was their only #1- “American Woman” 1970. This was the follow up single to that one.
A lot of fine tunes from them in a space of about 4 years. Maybe lots of time to practice in Winnipeg, one of the few cities around where -40 isn’t a rare temperature.
I love this song.
