I'm an American music lover. A friend in Australia shared this song with me today. I absolutely fell in love with it! So much so, that I ordered a CD with this song on it! Its now one of my favorite songs! Sad to hear the bassist has passed away. Bass guitar is my favorite. My fiancée's himself is an ex bassist in the UK! RIP

I played this song for my stepson's funeral after he died of Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 12. As this song was playing, pictures of his childhood happy times with the family were flashing across the video screen for the audience. It was very touching for all and still brings a tear to my eyes more than 19 years later. To me this song is far deeper than just expressing love for a partner, its also about being an individual and someone special within the lives of others.

I know I'm late to the party with this comment, but ... here in Australia, we still hear the chorus "Do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be, yeah" played from time to time in TV commercials for various things. In fact, at the moment, the national public broadcaster (the ABC) is playing that chorus in one of its channel promotions. This song came out when I was a teenager, so it's quite "contemporary" to me, but it amazes me that it's still being used fifty years on and heard incidentally on TV by people whose parents weren't even born when it came out.

AND tragically, almost impossible to get international recognition. We were so proud of our music, but felt very offended that the international market showed no interest in anything from down under, as if we didn't exist. AND more sadly, our market wasn't big enough to sustain all our wonderful bands. BUT it is so good when our music gets discovered here on YT by music fans all over the world and they 'rave' about it, just like we did and do. Stupid US record companies, and radio stations that couldn't be told, what we thought was a real good thing.

Such a great song. I was in London 1971 at Grand Funk railroad/Humble Pie concert and as walking through crowd who comes towards us but the Masters themselves. Me and my brother said hi and had a brief chat. Made my day. Many years later Jim was Dj at some place in St Kilda. Told him about our breief chat. Ended up having a longer talk to him about London and concert.. So sad him and Glenn have now gone but the music lives on.

Awesome! This 60s revival band of mine in the 80's tried to cover this song but it was just beyond us - we were just kids, really, & we were biting off way more than we could chew. We all so admired those guys - total legends! I was fortunate enough to see the Masters perform live in two reunion concerts. I met Jim Keyes and Doug Ford in Mildura in 1999 for the CD promo tour and Jim stayed to talk to me over a beer (he won't remember) but he shook my hand and sign my copy. Top bloke, top band!
