Some songs have quite a convoluted history. This started out as a B-side of the first single by Nazz, which featured a young Todd Rundgren. WMEX in Boston turned the record over and the 45 gained a bit of traction in early ‘69. It was reissued in 1970 and charted about the same, in the lower reaches of the Hot 100. Todd didn’t sing lead here - keyboardist “Stewkey” Antoni did. After Rundgren went solo, he re-recorded the song (which he wrote) and took it to the Top 5 in 1973.
