Grazing In The Grass’ was first an intstumental hit for South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela. The Philemon Hou composition received lyrics and was re-recorded by Harry Elston and his band, The Friends Of Distinction in 1969. This fresh, groovy 60’s take was an immediate hit — reaching the Top 10 on both the Pop and R&B charts. It’s a great song that encapsulates easy, breezy summer days!
