Jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery released a smooth jazz version of the song, in his recognisable octave style with stringed accompaniment, on his 1967 album "A Day in the Life". The album also included the guitarist's version of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby". The recording is one of Montgomery's popular song adaptations, made after his shift from the hardbop and postbop Riverside Records sound to smooth jazz, A&M period records that were targeted at popular audiences. The album reached number 13, Montgomery's highest showing on the "Billboard" 200 album chart.
