This tune is iconic as it gets. It defined an age. It pulls me right back into the wild, colorful maelstrom of the 60s.

Im leaving my comment here so when someone likes it, I can listen to this masterpiece again.

[stuart-clarke]

I wish modern music was even just a fraction of the quality :'(

[Tranarpnorra]

The 60's had some powerful song releases. I'm more into the 1970's but I can't ignore what came before.
This is a very good song that will stay with me forever.
