A brush with fame in 1961 had left Tony Orlando with a preference for the business side of the music industry. By 1970 he had abandoned performing except for uncredited studio work. However, the massive popularity of Candida and Knock Three Times forced him to go back on the road and accept featured billing with Dawn.

Rafferty and Egan success was due in part to producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, whose expertise went all the way back to Hound Dog. Stealers Wheel broke up after one more hit,Star, but Gerry Rafferty reemerged five years later with Baker Street.
