Classically-trained singer Anita Darian supplied the high soprano during the sax solo and as the counter melody to the lead vocal. Darian has a four-octave vocal range, and has sung everything from opera to television jingles in her long career. The year before the Tokens' session (1960) she had recorded a rare album of Near and Middle Eastern songs called East of the Sun (Kapp KS-3052/KL-1168). Anita still performs today and was featured in a 2003 Cabaret Festival in New York City.
