Linda (dennis) Yost from Cincinnati,ohioAfter Dennis’ accident Tom Garrett was hired to work with Dennis to be a replacement or co lead vocal for some live performances due to health issues. That was hurting their reception since the sax had a lot to do with their sound.' Mike did not tour at all and the band had been playing for a while with Auburn Burrell filling in the sax solos on lead guitar. English White was a sax player that was brought in later during the 'Traces' road tour to fill in for the sax. There's a bit of a tone-break at the end of the solo that Mike insisted on re-recording, but Buddy wouldn't let him. He had a very good concept of how he wanted the solos, which differed from Buddy Buie's ideas of mainstream pop.

Glickman wrote in the Forgotten Hits newsletter: The reason he didn't play on some of the other records (the ones Ray Jarrel played on) was because Mike was a bit hard to work with in the studio. According to Classics IV's biographer Joe Glickman, it was Mike Shapiro, who wrote and recorded the original instrumental version of the song, who played the sax.

There's been some controversy over who played the sax solo on this song, as different people have claimed to have played it.
