Maurice White actually says that this was an interesting crossroads for the band because their previous record was called All In All, and it was the first time that they had had huge commercial success.
Michael WolfeHOST
They were a funky jazz band and stuff like that that had success but didn't become massive commercial stars.
Michael WolfeHOST
That album had the songs Fantasy and Serpentine Fire on it, which were big.

Before Maurice White left Chicago and went to LA, he gathered these 10 musicians and himself in a studio in Chicago, and they recorded about nine recordings and got two songs released under a band name, The Salty Peppers.
Doc BrooksHOST
And the A side, La La Time Part 1.
Doc BrooksHOST
The flip side, Uh-huh, yeah.

La La Time got some play in Chicago and some of the Midwestern radio stations, but they really didn't go that well.
