These were my people. I wore that record out. I must have heard them well before I bought the record in 1969, though. I wrote a song called "Pipedream" in 1968 with a chorus almost identical to this. A friend asked me why I had changed the song. I didn't know what he was talking about, but he said "That's a Blues Magoos song." I bought the album and found out he was right. I tried to convince myself we had independently come up with the same chorus at about the same time, but after a year or so I gave it up. I must have heard it and stolen it.

I don't remember ever hearing this, but the only thing I remember of the Blues Magooos is their name.
