Story behind the song
Oddly, this is one of the first songs I thought about doing when I got my multi-track recorder. I grew-up singing in all-city chorus and boys choirs, and I had a wonderful African-American chorus leader named Mr. Hill. In the early '60s, Alphonse Hill, taught a whole bunch of us to sing this and play along on percussion instruments. I'm sure this isn't how we did it then, but this is as best as I remember it. I loved singing that song. I recorded it at home and sang six vocal parts myself.
