This is one of the greatest songs of all time. I just stumbled on this video and was amazed to discover that Gary Brooker can still hit those notes. Amazing.

One of the greatest songs ever written and recorded. Timeless.

Was heroin involved?
I'm starting a spinoff thread.

So one of the greatest of all time songs of all time?
That's a buncha greatness.

Such a well-crafted and delivered song - one would have expected more output from the band over the years (and they were prolific, but never matched the success of their early hit). Lightning in a bottle, probably.
I always like the drums in this song, particularly - the band's drummer hadn't been recruited yet, so they used a salty old Bill Eyden (he was an ancient 37 years old when they recorded this) as a session player on the recording.
Eyden cut his teeth in the 1950s - playing with cats like Steve Race, The Jazz Couriers, and ultimately Miles Davis and Ray Ellington. He was still playing in jazz outfits during the 60s and did session work with rock groups on the side.
From a pure talent standpoint, Jazz guys normally play rock guys off the risers.

John Lennon's favorite song. He had speakers installed on the outside of his RR and blasted the song as he rode thru London.

Percy Sledge did it better live. Great memories of The Candlelight club back in the 70's.
