Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Sabbra Cadabra by Black Sabbath

Today's Metal Track is a love song by Black Sabbath?! Wait what? That is correct. Sabbra Cadabra is a love song off of their 1973 album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Keyboardist Rick Wakeman from Yes was brought in as a session player for this song. He refused payment from the band and was compensated with beer instead. Led Zeppelin members showed up during the recording of the album and John Bonham wanted to play on this track as well but Sabbath wanted to play other material for the occasion.

Metallica covered this song as part of a melody with A National Acrobat (Also Sabbath) on their 1998 cover album Garage Inc.
