On this day, 40 years ago

In 1971, Brewer & Shipley's song One Toke Over The Line first entered the Billboard Charts.

It eventually would peak at #10.

But the song's real influence would go beyond just the pop charts.

 
Dick Dale and Gail Farrell made the song on the Welk show as a "Modern Day Spiritual".

And the world became a better place because of it....
