The mantra-like fuzz guitar added a spiritual quality that was missing from later versions. So little was known of the group that they were often referred to as Amazing Grace, and the song as ‘The Great Awakening’!

The latter Cohen has worked as session guitarist for Bobby Darin, Tim Hardin and Frank Sinatra.
