You asked for poorly recorded sixties music, and by god, we deliver. Bad lip synching to boot, but damn, that my friends, is an afro. John Kay was maybe the Canadian version of Jim Morrison, I saw Steppenwolf several times in my distant youth and always enjoyed them. Believe they came up with the phrase Heavy Metal (as in Heavy Metal thunder) originally. My friend Rick Griffin did a classic cover for their monster album from his epic work Man from Utopia. I have the original art seperation for the Utopia cover, but not the album cover.
Saw John Kay at street scene several years ago and he was grayer but the old wolf was still entertaining. One of the guys like Orbison that everyone thought was blind because of the Ray Bans.

nice song, i never heard it before...Kay was a great singer and performer, his blues/r&b roots run deep, it's apparent..
