There are bands who never quite have that huge breakthrough record. So it was with Spirit, as this was their sole Top 40 effort. Their early stuff was produced by Barry Hansen, who we know these days as radio host Dr. Demento. Guitarist Randy California had been in a group with then-unknown Jimi Hendrix. After this became a hit they skipped Woodstock, which in hindsight didn’t help. Singer Jay Ferguson later had a hit with Jo Jo Gunne (“Run, Run, Run”) and solo (“Thunder Island”) and is now a soundtrack composer, scoring weekly episodes for “NCIS: Los Angeles.”
