And for the record, Jackie wrote this song. She was so moved after seeing the film that she immediately went to work on it.

Jackie was interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air show a couple years back and she admitted that yes, she had written the song after having seen the film of the same name.

From what I've read, Jackie DeShannon wrote this song after she saw the film by the same name. It was released in April of '66, and it was recorded about a year before in April of '65. The song was part of her rejected folk demos LP that included "Don't Doubt Yourself Babe" which was included on The Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man," so it could have possibly been from that same recording session (which happens to be April of '65). If that's the case, it would have been the original five members.

Thanks themag. So nice to share. Great. Do you have by any chance info on this. Did Gene Clark wrote? Are this really the Byrds? Thank you very much for an answer.
