“Like most of the big names in the music business, Felton [Jarvis] was a true eccentric who even set up a traditional Indian wigwam in the middle of the big, wide open recording studios at RCA. Every time you went into to see Felton at RCA, you had to sit down on the floor of his wigwam before you could talk business…Felton also discovered and recorded a rising young pop singer named Tommy Roe…the day before Felton brought Tommy down from Nashville, Dan and I locked the studio doors behind us and stayed up all night smoking cigarettes, drinking beer and writing a song called ‘Everybody.’ We were convinced Tommy Roe would cut it the very next day and sure enough he did” (Rick Hall, Terry Pace, The Man from Muscle Shoals: My Journey from Shame to Fame, 2015)
