that included Bird on a Wire: "There's a lot of pain in this disc, to be sure — it's hard to find a Hardin song that didn't have some — but also a level of lyrical and musical excellence that one should feel privileged to partake of." 1968, Klein produced “Tim Hardin 3 Live in Concert” 1969, Klein produced the Hardin album Suite for Susan Moore and Damion: We Are One, One, All in One. In 1974, Mac Davis, while working on a new album wrote the song "Stop and Smell the Roses". This was a phrase Doc Severinsen, band leader of The “Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” had mentioned to Davis, giving Doc co-writing credit. However, the song was not proving an easy recording as the album was being produced by Rick Hall known as the “Father of Muscle Shoals Music." Columbia Records went to young record producer Klein, then 32, asking if he'd like to give what they were hoping to release as the first single “Stop and Smell the Roses,” a shot at production and they’d choose which producers rendition they preferred as the single.

Cash later blamed it on the "bosses," finding no fault in the production. He mentioned he'd work again with Klein down the line. In 1976-1977, Klein began working with Glen Campbell. This resulted in the pop and country #1 hit "Southern Nights". Upon Campbell's crossover to the pop charts, Dolly Parton and RCA Records wondered if he could do the same for her.

In 1976, Barbra Streisand had just won an Academy Award for her song "Evergreen". Klein began working with Streisand in 1977 on her album Superman. "My Heart Belongs to Me" hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts and the album went to #4 on Billboard's top 100 resulting in double platinum album. In 1978, Streisand's Songbird album
