Song of the Day: "Tomorrow" by Strawberry Alarm Clock

Strawberry Alarm Clock makes a "guest appearance" on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, episode 1, January 22, 1968. (And the band is still rockin' from the looks of it.)



I love this song, and so does Luxuria Music. They play it frequently.

Though many people may consider Strawberry Alarm Clock to be a one-hit wonder -- their "Incense and Peppermints" spent a week at #1 in late 1967 and is a staple of oldies radio -- "Tomorrow" reached a respectable #23 on Billboard's Hot 100 in early 1968. Though not a museum piece, it's certainly a song of its time but remains extremely listenable.

Lead guitarist Ed King went on to play for Lynyrd Skynyrd. He talks about his musical experiences in this interview with Gary James.
