“I don’t compliment many singers, having been spoiled with the likes of recording for Ray Charles, Bobby Darin, Sam Cooke, The Righteous Brothers, Joe Cocker and Barbra Streisand but was very impressed with John, his ideas, his complete professionalism and the way he sings. Takes a lot to knock me out, but he did - it was fun to record for him. He should do well with his fine recordings.” - Carol Kaye, The Wrecking Crew
