The single's success (it reached number 12 on the Billboard singles chart) led to appearances on American Bandstand and at Carnegie Hall. Sailcat released a self-titled album in 1972 for Elektra that featured many of the heavy-hitters in the Southern rock field such as Chuck Leavell, the Memphis Horns, and Pete Carr. Soon after releasing the album, Sailcat broke up. Sailcat leader Johnny Wyker, who had been a member of the Rubber Band who recorded the original version of "Let Love Come Between Us," later a hit for James and Bobby Purify, went on to play with many of the great Southern rock musicians like Eddie Hinton, Dann Penn, Delany Bramlett, among others. He is currently working on a benefit project called The Mighty Field of Vision Anthem, a group dedicated to raising funds for musicians who have fallen on hard times.Checkout www.MIGHTYFIELDOFVISION.comNote from Wyker The bulk of the tracks on this CD were played by The Muscle Shoals Swampers featuring Roger Hawkins on drums, David Hood on Bass and Producion, Clayton Ivey on Hammond B-3, Tommy Patterson on Piano, Wayne Perkins on guitar and vocals, Charlie Hodge ( Elvis Mafia) Back up vocals, Guy Higginbotham on sax and flute, Pete Carr on 12 String guitar, Ronnie Brown on Slide guitar,Mike Lawley, Rodney Davis- guitars, Bill Connell on percussion.Max Lee keyboards, Butch Ledford,Bass,Chuck Leavell Piano, Art Shilling, guitar, Marlin and Jeanie Greene on vocals.Lou Mullenix,drums.Owen Brown- Bass, John Wyker vocal and guitar.
