1968 recording of Simon Dupree & The Big Sound with Elton John on piano. Simon Dupree & The Big Sound were actually the Shulman brothers - singer Derek Shulman and his brothers Phil & Ray Shulman. They were friends with Reg Dwight (the young Elton John) and recorded this song in 1968, with Elton playing piano. It was never released, however, until 2004 when it was included on the compilation Simon Dupree & The Big Sound: Part of My Past.
