_{Sammy Johns – “Chevy Van” ad via Cash Box March 08, 1975}

Sammy Johns‘ “Chevy Van” was originally released in 1973 and didn’t cause much of a stir. However, when a re-release hit the airwaves in early 1975 it climbed all the way to #5 on the Hot 100.

It doesn’t get much more seventies than this one. We even get to enjoy instrumentation by the legendary studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. Rev your engines and have a listen.
