The first single by the Lovin' Spoonful went Top Ten and, in a sense, never went away. While rehearsing "Do You Believe in Magic," Sebastian affixed a contact mike to his autoharp, and in combination with Zal Yanovsky's electric guitar they hit on a unique sound. Sebastian said the song was rooted in "the chord progressions coming out of Motown at the time."
