Об исполнителе:
From and interview with bassist/vocalist Rod McBrien: Ed Newmark, a record producer with Audio Fidelity Records, was holding auditions for a group he was putting together. The group was to be called The Goggles and would have their own Saturday morning national TV show as part of the Mattel Children's Theater series. The show would be similar to The Monkees only with an educational theme. The audition called for singers who could also play an instrument... I got the job and arranged for an audition for my friend, David Spinozza - who also got the job. Actress Jessica Harper and Mark Lockhart rounded out the group. We recorded one single and an album for Audio Fidelity and a one hour TV special was produced by Guy Fraumeni. The show aired on NBC as promised. We all hoped the show would be picked up by NBC as a weekly feature but that didn't happen. The Goggles were, however, featured singing a song each Saturday morning on the "Take A Giant Step" show - which was also on NBC.
