THE MOVE - 'Flowers In The Rain' (B&W original version) | 1967

 Susan likes the Move. I liked Fire Brigade as a kid. Flowers in the Rain - Wikipedia

This is a fun fact

In a promotional stunt for the record – typical of the band's manager Tony Secunda – a postcard was released with a cartoon of a naked then-Prime Minister Harold Wilson in bed with his secretary Marcia Williams. Wilson sued, and the High Court ordered that all royalties from the song be donated to a charity of Wilson's choice. This arrangement, which remains in force, saw royalties go to the Spastics Society and Stoke Mandeville Hospital during the period of the single's chart success. In the 1990s, The Observer newspaper reported the royalties had exceeded £200,000 and that the Harold Wilson Charitable Trust had extended the range of beneficiaries to include, among others, the Oxford Operatic Society, Bolton Lads Club, and the Jewish National Fund for Israel.[6]
