The only thing that caught Keith’s attention was their harmonies, enough so he encouraged them to ditch the band and move to Los Angeles. And then Lindsey got mono.

Stevie has said that she considered her role as being more supportive of Lindsey, since he was obviously the talent. Maybe the initial plan was for Stevie to simply be Lindsey’s vocal accompaniment and the primary songwriter?

That’s a great point. Her harmony on this demo is what got me hooked on them back in 1976. Anything that can be released from this era would be so awesome. Stevie’s voice was at her prime.
