Director Francis Ford Coppola hired
Lovin' Spoonful leader
John Sebastian to compose music for his romantic comedy,
You're a Big Boy Now, and
Sebastian brought his band in to perform many of the songs, including the ballad "Darling Be Home Soon," which became
The Spoonful's next hit. Most of the rest of the score consisted of instrumentals, many augmented by an uncredited orchestra, but
Sebastian's title song was also impressive.
