The article is missing info. When did he write the song? From the article, it appears that he wrote it for a 1965 album, but the article mentions that it was covered by 2 different groups, 1 in 1965 and another in 1964.


I shall ammend that. Indeed, there are two officially released Dylan performances of the song the recording of which predate the Bringing It All Back Home recording/release. (Jack Haddad 17:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC))
