Released in 1968, Give A Damn just missed the Top 40 on the charts, topping out at #43. The song was another socio-political song with a message, so big in the 1960s. Like many songs, it straddled the sound of Pop and Folk, ultimately giving in to the Pop sound. The song incorporated the ethereal sounds the group was known for, with tight harmonies and strong vocals by Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane.
You can find Give A Damn on 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection on iTunes and Amazon.
