The "hit song"off the album. In addition to the Medicine Band regulars of that time, Al Shackman played keys and vibes. The project started when John Hammond at Columbia Records connected me to Shackman who had a studio in Northampton. Al was Nina Simone's music director and had played on a bunch of 60s hits. I think he did the vibes on There is a Rose in Spanish Harlem..
