Artist: Wind
Author: Bo Gentry/Kenneth Laguna/Paul Neumann/Bernard Cochrane

Year: 1969
New York studio band around author Bo Gentry. Instrumental B-side of American single Make Believe, top 30 US for Tony Orlando.
Covers:
Humbug [alias Bernie Cochrane; British single; n°1 in Mexico]
Mr. Bloe [n°2 UK; real name: Zack Lawrence; harmonica: Harry Pitch, so crucial in the overall sound he's the real Mr. Bloe]
Cool Heat [same cut as the original under a new moniker (Cool Heat), a new title (in the slipstream of the Mr. Bloe hit) and as an A-side]
Fall [John Peel session]
Morrissey and Pulp both used this instrumental as introduction music to their shows, and so did Dick Clark for American Bandstand.
