“Ted Cooper, Carl Spencer, Eddie Rabbitt and I wrote a song called "Night People" where the demo turned into the master. The four of us were hanging out at the office and decided to write a song together. Carl Spencer sang the male vocal and I'm not sure who did the female vocal. That's Eddie and me struggling in the background with our falsettos to sound like a female backup group. Teddy got a deal with the Fontana label for the demo and came up with the brilliant name for the group, the Leaders. There was another cover of the song by a group called Harry Deal and the Galaxies - I'm not sure if that's a step up or down from the Leaders. I don't know where Ted's career went after I left Shapiro-Bernstein, but I heard later that unfortunately he died at a young age.” (http://www.spectropop.com/CarlD)
