Bob Dylan first recorded the song "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)" in 1967 during the Basement Tapes sessions, but did not release a version for another three years.
Meanwhile, the song was picked up and recorded in December 1967 by the British band Manfred Mann,
who released it as a single in the US on 8 January 1968 under the title "Mighty Quinn".
A UK single followed within a week. The Manfred Mann version reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart for the week of 14 February 1968, and remained there the following week. It also charted on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 10, and reached No. 4 in Cash Box.
