The duo of Truett Pratt and Jerry McClain went unnoticed in 1974 with a a self-titled album and a single called "When My Ship Comes In".

But they scored a big hit in 1976 with the "Theme to Happy Days" (#5) and a second self-titled album. They followed up with a cover of "Devil With A Blue Dress" (#71).

This edited, promo single is also off their second self-titled album. There is a sax intro and a sax solo in the middle of the song that was cut out and can only be heard in the background on this version. There is a 12" "Disco Mix" of this which really isn't disco - just an extended version with additonal music.

Reknown producer Michael O'Martian co-wrote it with wife Stormie, and would record a similar version of his own on a rare album and CD, "Adam Again", in 1977.

Pratt & McClain would disppear from the music scene after the success of their second album. But today Pratt runs a consulting company in San Antonio and McClain is the head of an Entertainment group in L.A.
