Another huge hit for songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Little Eva was their baby sitter. The song reached #1 in the United States in 1962. It sold over one million copies.

Side one of this album features the typical keyboard styling’s of Leon Russell while side two goes very strange with psychedelia. As a pianist, he played in his early years on albums by The Beach Boys. On his first album, Leon Russell, in 1970, the musicians included Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison. One of his biggest early fans, Elton John, said Russell was a "mentor" and an "inspiration". They recorded their album The Union in 2010, which earned them a Grammy nomination.

Klaatu was a Canadian progressive rock band formed in 1973 and disbanded in 1982. They released five studio albums, the most famous of which is the 1976 debut 3:47 EST (AKA Klaatu), which, due to a rumor started by a DJ, was believed by some to be a front for new work by the Beatles. In fact, The Beatles and Klaatu were Capitol Records label mates; when they were asked for comments, Capitol remained silent, letting the rumour fester and selling a lot of product. The album's artwork contained no credits for the performers, and there were at times vocal similarities with Lennon and McCartney. Klaatu was named after Michael Rennie's character in the classic science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). Ringo Starr’s fourth solo album, Goodnight Vienna, which features Ringo on the front cover posing as the alien Klaatu.
