Love guitarist Bryan MacLean wrote this as a tribute to his mother, who was a flamenco dancer.
Love were a psychedelic rock band from Los Angeles. This fit the psychedelic sound with a mix of strings, horns and guitars.
The group was led by Arthur Lee. They had one #33 American hit in 1966 with "7 And 7 Is" but they are most remembered for this. Lee was sentenced to 12 years in jail in 1995 for shooting at a neighbor who'd protested at the noise from Lee's stereo. MacLean left the band to join a Christian ministry.
