Initially of British origin, but then transformed into a South African group.

The first four albums issued in South Africa were purchased from the British company BWD and released locally by Music for Pleasure (MFP), using the name “The Sessionmen”. The idea was to produce low cost albums of popular songs of the time, so as to allow the general public affordable access to such music. For this purpose “The Sessionmen” were never officially a group, but rather an ever changing collection of session musicians (as the name suggest). The first four albums (therefore of British origin) were:

1. The Session Men Sing Hits Made Famous By Tom Jones & Engelbert Humperdinck  -  1971;
2. Sounds Like Slade – 1973;
3. 12 Golden Oldies – 1974;
4. 12 Golden Oldies Vol 2 – 1974.

From the fifth album onwards, MFP created its own “The Sessionmen” and proceeded to issue another 30 odd albums, using many well-known artists, such as Clive Bruce, Tommy Dell, Roy Bulkin, Caroline du Preez, Bobby Louw and Dennis East, as well as many other lesser known artists, although none were ever credited. Most of the local productions were handled by Robert Schröder.

This song is off the fifth album (and the first to feature only South African artists) “The Best Of George, Paul, Ringo & John 1970 - 1975”, released in 1975. It's a cover of a George Harrison song from 1973.
