Shane "A Natural Man" 1970

...Gene Pierson had the inside running and had been assured by Moore that the job was as good as his. Pierson was playing a gig that weekend and invited Kevan Moore and the show’s booking agent Phil Warren to come along. Backing Pierson that night was Shane (the group). Moore and Warren stayed long enough to be impressed by Shane’s showmanship and vocals and offered him the job instead...
...The series started in mid-1968 and Shane became a big part of the show’s success. At this point Ray Columbus became Shane’s manager and record producer, under the wing of Phil Warren's Fuller agency. Warren would manage Shane until the early 1970s.

The follow-up single was the John Denver track ‘Leaving On A Jet Plane’, given a major facelift courtesy of an imaginative arrangement by Bob Gillett...to be continued... - Grant Gillanders and AudioCulture
