Recorded in Los Angeles with the Wrecking Crew providing the music this hit UK #4, USA #2, and #1 in Australia & Canada.

Not quite the version in the chart, this one is a bit faster. Not sure where that "drink-driving" version on youtube came from, it certainly isn't the normal version of the song.

Anyway

and by the way, yes George Michael sampled a bit of this song.

Spotlight this week on a non-charting single by the marvellous Wilson Pickett...

[popchartfreak]

18th May 1968

It's a second week on top for the gorgeous low-key tasteful Herb Alpert Bacaharch/David track, holding off the epic histrionics of Richard Harris at 2 - the same position Donna Summer took her disco version to in 1978 in my charts. Close behind is Nirvana and the fab psychedelia of Rainbow Chaser, joined in the 10 ten by the equally psychedelic pop (and not unlike 1968 Robin Gibb vocal Bee Gees) of Friend & Lover. Highest new entry is Stoned Soul Picnic, one slot behind Stoned Soul Picnic, as The 5th Dimension take the fab songs of Laura Nyro and show how great they sound with a powerful harmony male-female soul group who just couldnt keep off The Ed Sullivan Show in the late 60's and early 70's. Quite right too, still one of the great harmony groups, an utter lost art in the 21st century. Young people's loss! They seem to prefer the "drop"....

A huge climb for Peaches & Herb's lush United into the top 20, Marmalade debut with Lovin' Things, good ol' UK popballad at 27, and the start of a great run of pop singles for 8 years on and off. The Gentry's obscure little garage rock track also leaps up, The Delfonics replace themselves in the 40, still having two inside it, and a good entry for Jo Armstead who tends to the histrionic herself at times with another Stoned soul song - not a picnic though. Johnny Cash's murder ballad predating his live prison performances also enters, having previously had some first-hand experience himself, The Marvelettes enter with a minor goodie no-one remembers, and The Cowsills make it 3 in my chart, with the odd little Indian Lake. Finally, Here Comes The Judge! No it's not the Rowan & Martin's TV novelty spin-off from Pigmeat Markham, it's a funky little number taking advantage of the catch-phrase that was everywhere that summer, courtesy of Shorty Long.
