For the sake of clarity, I'll just mention that two versions of this song
were released back in the '70s.  Neil Young wrote the song, (I think) and
released a version which was backed with piano and trumpet.  A bit later,
a group whose name I don't recall had a mild hit with the a capella 
version mentioned in the original posting.  Of course, "Children of the
Sun" was a different beast altogether, being neither well sung nor
memorable.
