The single was released just prior to the band's high-profile performance at Woodstock, which greatly expanded their fanbase.

Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, kept out of the number 1 spot by "I Can't Get Next to You" by the Temptations.

It was covered in 1982 with somewhat greater chart success by a funk outfit known as Dayton, and again in 1995 by The Manhattan Transfer featuring vocals by Chaka Khan.

Genesis vocalist and drummer Phil Collins cited the song as one of the musical inspirations for "Misunderstanding".

Dave Koz and Friends (Gerald Albright, Mindi Abair and Richard Elliot) did an instrumental jazz cover on their 2013 collaboration album Summer Horns.
