The song would give the band their 3rd and (to date) last UK chart topper. They had previous hit the UK top spot with ‘You Really Got Me’ and ‘Tired Of Waiting For You’. It would be the 5th of 7 top 20 hits in the US (where they never managed a number 1 hit). The track would feature Rasa Davies, the then wife of lead singer Ray Davies, on backing vocals.
