The hit topped the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks and hit the number one spot in almost every other country in the world. It has sold 30 million copies to date. In its debut year "Best New Band" from Melody Maker. Though they have went through many staff changes, leader Ray Dorset has always managed to keep Mungo Jerry alive.

Mungo Jerry was formed in 1970 and its first hit "In the Summertime" that very year. After "Summertime" Mungo Jerry released the songs "Baby Jump" and "Lady Rose" which were nearly as successful.

There was infighting amongst the group, and while the band kept releasing chart topping singles and albums many members left. Over the band's thirty plus years several musicians joined, left, and returned again. The only constant was leader Ray Dorset.

In 2007 the band released Naked - From the Heart featuring reunited former bandmates Dorset, Mike Cole and Bruce Band.
