This cool tune by the British psychedelic band "Simon Dupree & The Big Sound" was released in 1967 and made it to number 9 in the UK charts, i like a lot of psychedelic music and this has always been one of my favourites so i thought i would upload it for you all to hear, i so love the catchy music to this.

Kites" is by far the best known number, and some of the later psychedelic efforts, including the Derek, Phil, and Ray Shulman-composed "She Gave Me the Sun" and the Shulman-Shulman "Thinking About My Life," are entertaining period pieces. But the real meat here is the group's R&B material from 1966 and earlier in 1967 - Derek Shulman was a convincing shouter, and when the group slipped into the right groove, even on the edge of their leap into psychedelia ("Reservations"), they could rise to the occasion with good results.
