I first heard this song when used in a radio commercial for hair coloring way back when I was a child .Written by Van Dyke Parks, who also wrote songs with Brian Wilson.

Sunshine pop group Harpers Bizarre,recorded this as the opening track on their debut album, Feelin' Groovy. Parks himself was present on the album's recording sessions, and he plays keyboard on the track. This version reached #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Just a few years back, I rediscovered the song itself.

Here is a link to the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfPhxPvCVx8&list=RDVfPhxPvCVx8&start_radio=1

For my recordings, I learned all the singing parts.. Thanks from me and the Social-Lites.

It's a feel good song.. which is why I am posting it

Thanks to anyone interested in listening
