	This was originally an instrumental by Mike Sharpe; the Classics IV
	added lyrics to it and had a hit with it several months later.

	The Classics IV didn't "become" the ARS any more than the Beatles
	"became" Wings; the only person common to both groups is guitarist 
	J.R. Cobb.  ARS' real antecedent is the Candymen, who started out as
	Roy Orbison's backup band and who once featured Bobby Goldsboro as
	lead guitarist.  ARS organist Dean Daughtry, drummer Robert Nix, and
	original lead singer Rodney Justo are all ex-Candymen.

	Close.  They are both studio groups masterminded by producer Tony
	Macauley and featuring lead singer Tony Burrows (who also sang lead
	on the Pipkins' "Gimme Dat Ding" and First Class' "Beach Baby").  They
	weren't "years apart", either - more like 3-4 months.
