A very wistful song and time. Takes me back to those good, old college days of long ago.

Yes I like it. Bought the album that it comes from a few years ago. Worth a listen :)

Am I correct in the thought that this is an answer song to Spanky and Our Gang's "Sunday Morning"? Thought I read that somewhere.....

Baltimore's Peppermint Rainbow [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/peppermint-rainbow-mn0000893662) had a Top 40 hit in 1969 with their harmony-laden soft rocker "Will You Be Staying After Sunday" -- a nod [[both thematically and musically) to the Spanky & Our Gang [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/spanky-our-gang-mn0000008245) hits "Sunday Morning" and "Sunday Will Never Be the Same." Like Spanky & Our Gang [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/spanky-our-gang-mn0000008245), the Peppermint Rainbow [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-peppermint-rainbow-mn0000893662) excelled at soaring vocal harmony work, with Bonnie Lamdin [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bonnie-lamdin-mn0001220815) [[later Phipps [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/phipps-mn0001220815)) helming most of the leads and the rest of the group providing the backing. A real working road band, the Peppermint Rainbow [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-peppermint-rainbow-mn0000893662) slugged it out in the clubs of Baltimore and Georgetown [[under the name the New York Times) in 1967-1968, and got their first break when they caught the attention of Cass Elliot [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cass-elliot-mn0000197215) [[Mama Cass [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/mama-cass-mn0001195359), duly impressed and probably flattered, joined the group on-stage during a Mamas & the Papas [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/mamas-the-papas-mn0000059293) medley and quickly hooked the group up with her contacts at Decca Records).

"Green Tambourine" and "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" writer/producer Paul Leka [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/paul-leka-mn0000750378) took the band under his wing and released its first single, "Walking in Different Circles" b/w "Pink Lemonade," under the group's new moniker the Peppermint Rainbow [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-peppermint-rainbow-mn0000893662). The record failed to chart but their next single, the Al Kasha [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/al-kasha-mn0000607919)-penned "Will You Be Staying After Sunday," was a hit. Overnight, the bandmembers went from sharing bologna sandwiches to playing alongside acts like the 5th Dimension [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-5th-dimension-mn0000028772) and Sly & the Family Stone [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/sly-the-family-stone-mn0000033161), as well as appearing on numerous television shows. Subsequent singles charted admirably, but their only LP release [[titled Will You Be Staying After Sunday [[http://www.allmusic.com/album/will-you-be-staying-after-sunday-mw0000260045)) never cracked the Billboard Top 100. By 1970, the group had dissolved -- a combination of disenchantment with the industry and personal commitments -- leaving three fine singles and one great long-player as testimony to "flash in the pan" fame.

Cute remake of the song....though, the hand movements got me dizzy!

I like it, and also this one by the Peppermint Rainbow which was on the charts that summer.

One of those songs that you forget how great they are until you hear them again.
