"Paper Sun" was the British band Traffic's debut single, released in May 1967.[2] It was a number 5 hit in the United Kingdom.[3] It is famous for its time-typical sitar riff, played by Dave Mason, and its soulful vocals by composer Steve Winwood.
The B-side, "Giving to You," was later released in a modified version (4:20) on their album Mr. Fantasy. The original B-side version, which opens with a brief vocal section, was later released as a bonus track on a CD reissue of the album. The album version omits the vocal section, and begins and ends with overdubbed spoken parts (probably by Chris Wood).
It is featured on the soundtrack of the 2010 British film Made in Dagenham.
