After Monday's post The first shot will be cyber, there could only be one choice for today. Here's P.P. Arnold with the Cat Stevens classic:

On German TV, 1967.

Whatever you may think of Cat Stevens, aka Yusuf Islam – his comments on Salman Rushdie, for instance – he could certainly write songs. 

Other versions:

Sheryl Crow
Rod Stewart
Cat Stevens

P.P. Arnold, originally from LA, abandoned the Ike and Tina Turner Revue when it arrived in London, and made her career here – "A young black woman on her own in America in a white environment would not have been treated as well as I was in England."
