"Turn! Turn! Turn!", is a song written by Pete Seeger in the late 1950s. The lyrics, except for the title, which is repeated throughout the song, and the final two lines, are adapted word-for-word from the English version of the first eight verses of the third chapter of the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes.

The song was originally released in 1962 as "To Everything There Is a Season" on folk group the Limeliters' RCA album Folk Matinee and then some months later on Seeger's own The Bitter and the Sweet. The song became an international hit in late 1965 when it was adapted by the American folk rock group the Byrds.

September 10, 1975: Bob Dylan recorded "Hurricane," "Oh Sister," and "Simple Twist Of Fate" for the television special The World of John Hammond.
“Here’s a simple love story, happened to me.” That’s how Bob Dylan introduces “Simple Twist of Fate” on 1979’s live At Budokan album. “Simple Twist of Fate” is the sleeper hit on Blood On The Tracks, Bob Dylan’s most lauded album; the “divorce album” that found Dylan bottoming out emotionally, discovering a whole new writing style, and regaining the trust of the nations’ critics and disappointed Dylanologists.
Maybe it’s true that this song “happened to him,” or maybe it is one of a series of songs based on Anton Checkhov short stories, as he hinted in his autobiography, “Chronicles Vol. 1.” Or maybe it’s both.
