Your Monday K-101.7 SONG OF THE DAY!

 "Grazing in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?"  Well, this is pretty unique. First off, in 1968, this guy, Hugh Masekela, a South African brass whizz, had a number-one smash with "Grazing in the Grass", selling four million copies.

See, back in those days, if one artist had a hit, every artist under the sun jumped on the bandwagon and cut a version of it.

Swanky, but one does miss the cowbell, doesn't one?

This being an instrumental, however, something unique happened. A dude named Harry Elston, founder of the group The Friends Of Distinction cobbled a set of lyrics for the song, pumped up the horns, cut it with his group and bang: a number three hit a year later.

And it's your K-101.7 SONG OF THE DAY!

CAN YOU DIG IT?
