Crosby was asked to consult on the film's soundtrack and, after reading the script, he realised the story echoed that of his own reunion with the son he never knew.
Screenwriter James Hart reveals, "He read the script and said, `This was my story.'
"He had a son he didn't know he had and he didn't know he was his father. He turns out to be a piano player (James Raymond) who is now the keyboard player in Crosby, Stills and Nash."
