Sprouting from the personnel of THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN (specifically keyboardist Vincent Crane, who was the only mainstay in the lineage of 'Rooster), this UK group were part of the movement that saw psychedelic rock morph into more "progressive" sounds. HOWEVER, this single (a top ten hit in the UK) harkens back to the beat era and to these ears I would classify it as a fantastic English soul track that, with its steady beat, could also fall into the category of early proto-disco discs.
from 1971...

Nice. They just don't make electric guitars sound like this anymore.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the brilliance of 'the Rooster" outside the 60's centric community!
