July Morning (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"July Morning" is a song by the 1970s progressive rock band Uriah Heep. It is the third track of their 1971 album Look at Yourself.

The song was written by the band's keyboardist Ken Hensley and original lead singer, David Byron. Approximately the last four minutes of the piece consist of an (accompanied) organ solo, serving as a fine example of Hensley's keyboard talents. The "odd" sounding calliope riffs are actually Manfred Mann, who according to the album's liner notes "Appears for the first time with his Moog synthesizer."
