Release shelved (until 1996!) for a lyric line foreshadowing a black president. We're in the midst of Dr. M.L. King's campaign in 1963, so the basic track was recut on "white Drifters" Jay & The Americans. Only in America.
Covers:
Jay & The Americans [with adapted lyrics; top 30 US]
No Obama era versions were considered.
