Previously, the Rivingtons had been known as the Sharps, and they had already had success in the charts with Thurston Harris's " Little Bitty Pretty One " in 1957, after which they appeared on several Duane Eddy recordings when any extraneous sounds of rebel yells were required, as on Eddy's 1958 hit " Rebel Rouser.

The Bible and Eddy's textbook on Christian healing, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, are together the church's key doctrinal sources and have been ordained as the church's " dual impersonal pastor ".

However, according to his biographer, Albert Paine, Twain seemed to take issue more with what he saw as Mary Baker Eddy's cult of personality than with the actual ideas of Christian Science saying:

Baritone Theodor Uppman, who won the Atwater Kent opera auditions and later sang at the Metropolitan Opera, saw Eddy and MacDonald at a 1947 party together, where the talk of the evening was the fact that MacDonald was pregnant with Eddy's child but he could not get a divorce.
