Al Kooper originally wrote "This Diamond Ring" for the Drifters (I don't know whether they ever recorded it?), and he never liked the Gary Lewis version. Several years later he recorded a version of it on one of his solo albums - it's very different to the Gary Lewis recording, but this is how Kooper had intended it should sound.

I met Kooper a couple of times in the 60s, in my Hollywood/Davey Jones/Pete Tork period (I was No1 in Los Angeles). When I also found Harry Nillson and brought his obscure music back to the UK and also spent time with members of Three Dog Night and Neil Young.
