For a song to be 55 years old and still raise the hairs on the back of the neck with every listen is remarkable. The band then kicks in for one last blast of the main refrain, and what a climax it is. As the guitar and bass drop out, Stein’s vibrations fill the air once more, backed by flourishes from Appice, heightening the tension. With that, a notable return to the introduction towards the end of the track remains crucial. Never had an organ been used to such effect in popular music, with Stein using it as both a lead instrument and a textural device. It makes the ears stand to attention, immersing the listener and creating a hefty dose of atmosphere that separates it from the sugary essence of the original. Stein’s organ is also an undoubted highlight. Marked out by a curiously heavy groove for the time, primarily thanks to the blistering drumming of Carmine Appice, who looked eerily similar to former QOTSA tub thumper Joey Castillo, the song has managed to retain a freshness thanks to the performances of each member. A psychedelic masterpiece, musically, it could not be further away from the original – which was released the previous year – with the only aspect drawing them together being the passion that the melody of the vocal performances conveys.

However, their most impactful piece came in the form of their 1967 cover of The Supremes’ Motown classic ‘You Keep Me Hangin’ On’. The band were famed for their covers and scored hits with reworks of The Beatles’ ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and Donovan’s ‘Season of the Witch’.
