The lead vocals were sung primarily by guitarist and new band member Larry Ramos along with vocalist Russ Giguere (both would sing lead together in the band's last Top 40 hit "Time for Livin'"). Ramos, who was of Filipino descent, was a rare Asian-American lead singer to have a number one hit single.[6]
