Nice one I like it , wow Im wondering how many years ago this was Top of the Pops , just going to find it on Wiki.
I posted this nearly a year ago, noticed a hit on it and checked it out and the YouTube link was no longer valid, so I found this version. The original one had them in a live performance, fairly good video/audio quality.

I have this tune on my mp3 jukebox and I believe the year it came out was 1969. I've always liked it, it's sure in my top several hundred songs of all time.
Thanks for posting!
