And, according to Wikipedia, here’s David Cassidy’s blue chip backing band for the album from which this single was released:
Hal Blaine – Drums
Mike Melvoin – Piano, strings & horn arrangements
Max Bennett, Reinie Press – Bass
Louis Shelton, Tommy Tedesco, Larry Carlton, Dennis Budimir – Guitar
The Love Generation – Backing vocals (arranged by John Bahler)
