After Dion made Abraham ,Martin,and John in 68, Darin wanted to do something of more substance and wrote and released this in 69.
I liked both guys and was really pleased to see them wanting to make a mark in the movement back then.
Thanks for posting.

I thought he was the newest Frank Sinatra type when I heard him in the mid-60s. He was getting it with this somg. Sad that he died in 73.
Heart problems were more serious back then. There have been a lot of advancements in coronary care since then.
