This debut single by English rock band Procol Harum was released in May 1967 and achieved significant chart success, reaching the top position on the UK Singles Chart within weeks and holding it for six consecutive weeks. Despite minimal promotional efforts, the song climbed to number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It became one of the defining songs of that year's Summer of Love and has since become one of the most commercially successful singles ever released, with worldwide sales exceeding 10 million copies and over 1,000 known cover versions recorded by other artists.
