Paul Revere and the Raiders and Terry Melcher would part ways shortly after this single. Terry produced all of their early hits but as a staff producer at Columbia Records, he was spending a lot more time working with other acts and less with the Raiders. A guy would soon audition for Melcher by the name of Charlie Manson. After he was turned down and not signed...well, the Manson "family" invaded Melcher's old house in 1969 looking to kill him (Terry had already moved), and they wound up murdering Sharon Tate and the others. Wrong place, wrong time.
