No record company. No family. Somehow I got in, and I just sat there. There’s nobody around. The only people there were Landau, Jimmy, Bruce, Chuck and Tom [Panunzio]. And all I heard for the first week or so was the harmonica on “Promised Land.” Every time the door [to the studio] opened…Then after a week, they say, “Hey, we wanna play you something.” They sit me down and blast the song, “Something In The Night”…“So what do you think?” It blew my mind.
