Fantastic album....Superb production, and Johnny handles the vocals beautifully, along with the great backup by the Fifth Dimension.....My goodness! I wish I could go back to LA back then.....!

Johnny’s versions of great songs are second to none! Listen to the “Changes” LP

Ron McCollister... wherever you are, thank you for turning me on to your fellow Baton Rouge native: Johnny Rivers. Riding in your Sunbeam Alpine while on weekends from the USAF will forever be in my memoy.

Genius. Just genius.

Yes, Johnny did this first, summer of '67 I do believe, 5th Dimension did it late 67-early 68, and theirs was the version I heard 1st. Loved the sitar in the ending of their version.

I was a big fan of both versions, 5th dimension and Johnny R.....cool song even today it stands up with the best...if you don't have it buy it packaged with his other great lp Realization.

Add to this . . . The Fifth Dimension . . . who, I believe, also recorded it as a single. BTW, they are the backing vocals on this great Jim Webb song.
