Okay, here is The Left Banke's other big hit - probably a bit more familiar to folks of that time period. This is the only version I ever knew, but many, many other artists did covers of this song, including the Four Tops.
The story behind the song I found very interesting to read. Believe it or not, this song was written by a teenager! Songwriter and keyboard player Michael Brown became infatuated by a striking woman who was the girlfriend of his bandmate, bassist Tom Finn, and wrote several songs about her, including Pretty Ballerina...
and this song.
This style of music was known as "baroque-rock."
