Sehr schöner TV-Auftritt von ca. 1967. Der Song gehört inzwischen zu meinen liebsten der 60s.
Produced by George „Shadow“ Morton and released three times between 1965 and 1967, „Society’s Child“ finally became a national hit upon its third release, after Leonard Bernstein featured it in a TV special titled Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution. The song’s lyrical content was taboo for some radio stations, and they withdrew or banned it from their playlists accordingly; in her 2008 autobiography Society’s Child, Ian recalls receiving hate mail and death threats as a response to the song, and mentions that a radio station in Atlanta that played it was burned down. In the summer of 1967, „Society’s Child“ reached #14 on the Billboard Hot 100, the single having sold 600,000 copies, and the album 350,000.
