From the Jacket - "She (Emerlee Thomas) accepted an offer to sing lead voice with a local, just-formed, folk song trio - the Gateway Singers. The Gateways auditioned at . . . the hungry i . . . Receptive audiences parlayed the two "off night" appearances into two weeks, then two years, plus subsequent fringe benefits like a national tour, on which one stop would be at New York's Carnegie Hall. Recording executive George Avakian happened in to the hungry i one night, was deeply impressed by Elmerlee, told her he wanted to record her as a soloist . . . at the first available opportunity. When George joined Warner Bros., he had Elmerlee rushed east to record this album, her debut as a soloist."
