Story behind the song
In 1969, the piece won three Grammy Awards: Best Instrumental Composition, Best Contemporary-Pop Performance, Instrumental, and Best Instrumental Arrangement. Mike Post wrote a middle section for the song because it needed a bridge, and conducted the orchestra. The song became a huge hit

Just listened to the original of Jason Williams too. It's from 1968. You are quite inventive in your version. I like your use of the choir together with the organ very much. Your sound/atmospheres stay in the sixties for me. A kind of ode to Jason Williams, bringing his Classical Gas into the attention again. Nicely done, Rod!
