The lead vocals on the song “Incense and Peppermints” by Strawberry Alarm Clock were sung by somebody who was not even a member of the band. This pop-psychedelic L.A. band (including lead guitarist Ed King, later in Lynyrd Skynyrd) resented that their producer had commissioned lyrics from songwriter John Carter for one of their instrumental tracks. So neither of the group's singers (Lee Freeman and Mark Weitz) put much effort into a song that was intended to be a B-side — and they didn't object when Carter suggested the song be sung by Greg Munford, a teenage friend of the band who was hanging around the studio. Of course, "Incense and Peppermints" ended up being the group's only track to top the charts.

In the early 1970s, a story was widely reported that Leave It To Beaver TV show star Ken Osmond had become "rock star Alice Cooper". According to Cooper, the rumor began when a college newspaper editor asked him what kind of child he was, to which Cooper replied, "I was obnoxious, disgusting, a real Eddie Haskell," referring to the fictional character Osmond portrayed. However, the editor ended up reporting that Cooper was the real Haskell. Cooper later told the New Times, "It was the biggest rumor that ever came out about me. Finally, I got a T-shirt that said, 'No, I am not Eddie Haskell.' But people still believed it."
Loverboy founding members Paul Dean (guitar, vocals) and Matt Frenette (drums) and current (bassist, vocalist) Kenny "Spider" Sinnaeve were all founding members of the band Streetheart.

Model Dolores Erickson was about 30 years old in 1965 when she posed for the Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass Whipped Cream & Other Delights album cover. The album has sold over 6 million copies in the United States alone and the album cover alone is considered a classic pop culture icon. Erickson was wearing chiffon and shaving cream. The picture was taken at a time when Erickson was three months pregnant. The album cover was so popular with Alpert fans that, during concerts, when about to play the song "Whipped Cream", Alpert would jokingly tell the audience, "Sorry, we can't play the album cover for you!"
Dolores is now 85 years old and still makes appearances for fans.
