Apparently the flute solo in this song is inspired by the similar but lengthier one in California Dreamin'. This song in turn inspired Boston's More Than a Feeling, which later inspired Smells Like Teen Spirit.

A gorgeous tune, a hit back in the 60s but no doubt underrated today if you look at other baroque pop hits. I wonder if the real Renee thought anything of this song.

@JohnnyLurg The real Renee found out it was about her about a year after it was released and that she was actually in the studio the day that they recorded it! She was the blonde girlfriend of the guys best friend and band mate! Scotty
