Very nice recording as usual, loved the great organ sounds and the style fits perfectly.
Seemed to have a strong delay effect on with quite a bit of reverb though?

I may be wrong here but I think the song came out in 1973 by Tony Orlando and Dawn?
I know it got to no.1 in the UK and was a huge hit. I still love to play it, it's simple and effective, goes down very well.
I'm certain the song was based on a true story of a convict retuning from jail.
