Biography:
The Buckinghams is an American sunshine-pop band from Chicago formed in 1966. They went on to become one of the top-selling acts of 1967, charting their only five Top 40 hits in the U.S. that year. The band dissolved in 1970, but re-formed in 1980 and as of 2019 they continue to tour throughout the United States.
If everyone on the northwest side of Chicago who claims to have hung out with the Buckinghams during their heyday had faithfully bought all their releases, the rock group might have sold more records than the Beatles.

[repeat chorus]
[freak-out section]
[Editor's note: when I heard them live, they extended the
freak-out section for a couple minutes, stepped up to the mic,
and executed the acappella section in *perfect* four-part
harmony without *any* pitch reference! And no, it wasn't taped,
either; this was 1968...]
Acappella break:
Love love love love...
I love you, yes I do, I do (2X)
Coda (repeat to fade):
C Dm7/C C Dm7/C
Susan I love you
