The catchy electric sitar in the intro and solo was absolutely a riff of art but the great voice of Mr Thomas could master some beautiful melismatic lines in the sylables always in perfect tune and chorus, a perfect combination made the difference for his superb version of the Mark James song. Beto Ponce from México CityB J Thomas original theme was huge popular in México, translated on radio as "Prendado de un sentimiento" or "Atrapado" and "Atado a un sentimiento" in radio stations.In November 2000 he was accused of sex attacks on boys dating back to 1970, and in January 2001, he was charged with seven counts of assault against underage youths and sentenced to seven years in prison.

King was a university student in the UK when he recorded his debut hit "Everyone's Gone To The Moon" in 1965, which reached #4 in the UK and #17 in the US. It went to #1 in Sweden, and according to a Rolling Stone article from 1974, a few copies made their way to the United States, where a woman in Connecticut played the song in her record store. Blue Swede was a Swedish band, and they would perform the Jonathan King version in concert, getting the crowd to chant along. Blue Swede recorded their own version with more aggressive jungle sounds in 1974, and it was a massive hit, reaching #1 in the US, Holland, Australia, and Canada. The first use of the chant in this song, however, was in the 1971 version by the English singer and pop mogul Jonathan King, who added the Oooonga Chackas which were based on the chant in Johnny Preston's 1959 hit " Running Bear." King's version was a UK hit - the only version of the song to chart there - reaching #23.
