[1][3] The Cake recorded the demos "Walking The Dog", "Something’s Got a Hold On Me", and "Big Boy Pete", songs that did not necessarily reflect the group's sound.
The production of the song, which was arranged by Harold Battiste, mimicked the Wall of Sound technique created by Nitzsche and Phil Spector.
Their own songs "Medieval Love", "Fire Fly" and "Rainbow Wood" were in the vein of 1960s baroque pop with intricate madrigal-style vocal harmonies.
[8][1] There was also a scheduled television appearance of The Cake for the 1967 Miss Teenage America Pageant (performing "Rainbow Wood").
But unlike their first album, all of the songs were originals with the majority written by Barooshian, supported by Battiste's folk and psychedelic arrangements.
The song "P.T.280" was inspired by the group visiting The Who at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the troubles of paying a taxi fair.
During the recording sessions, their managers had temporarily brought in a set of female singers with the intention of replacing the original members of The Cake – their harmonies can be heard on Barooshian's "Sadie".
The uncredited harmony singers appeared on other songs with Jacobs on lead vocals, without the permission or involvement from Barooshian and Morillo.
[11] Jacobs married musician Chris Wood from the English group Traffic, in November 1972, at Kensington Register Office.
In 1969, Wood travelled to the United States and joined Dr John on his tour, alongside Jacobs and Barooshian.
[12] In 1970, Jacobs followed Wood back to the United Kingdom, and became part of the supergroup Ginger Baker's Air Force.
[1] She briefly joined Ginger Baker's Air Force,[17] performing at their first live shows (March 1970 – May 1970), seen in April 1970, Copenhagen.
She began performing as a lead vocalist in a series of jazz groups including The Act (as a duo with Rahni Raines), Nightflyte (with Stephen Gaboury, Lincoln Goines, Kim Plainfield, Libby McLaren, and Roger Squitero), Ryo Kawasaki and the Golden Dragon, Bamboo (with Jason Shocair),[21] and Triptic Soul (with violinist Karen Lee Larson).
According to songwriter Colin Allen, "Medicine Jar was born out of my frustration, caused by Jeanette’s constant use of Mandies.
The EP cover was meant to be a tribute to Jeanette and her mystical presence, but her bandmate Barrooshian threatened legal action and the band TV Girl took down the image.
At the time, The Cake were interviewed and will appear in the long-awaited Karmer Jimi Hendrix Documentary,[1] promised to be released in April 2024.
[28] In 2017, the sole surviving member of The Cake, Morillo, performed live at the Stonewall Veterans Association Annual Conference on June 6, 2017.
