It was Gary and Alan who brought the Ragoos to the attention of record execs Charles Koppelman and Don Rubin, who had some success around this time with The Love and Spoonful.

Peter SandoGUEST
We were kind of an offbeat band for the night out because most of the groups did a lot of originals and we were mainly a cover band.
Peter SandoGUEST
And Gary and Alan, um, They liked us, and they especially liked the arrangement we did on Golden Earrings.
Peter SandoGUEST
And after that, after Gary and Alan went on to songwriter status, more or less, after the Magician's record kind of fizzled out, we were playing uptown at the Scott Muniz Rolling Stone, which kind of like was a highbrow discotheque on the east side.
Peter SandoGUEST
And they brought Koppelman and Rubin to see us there.
