Jay Telfer
Fergus Hambleton

In November 1969 shortly after the disbanding of A Passing Fancy, both of that act's former vocalists - Jay Telfer and Fergus Hambleton (who replaced Telfer) - recorded a studio album for Allied Records under the name Goody Two Shoes called 'Come Together'. The album was primarily cover tunes and is also noteworthy for lead guitar work by former A Passing Fancy roadie Kevan Staples - better known as half of future shock rockers Rough Trade.

Jay Telfer, who had a solo career simultaneously with A Passing Fancy (on the Sir John A. label) continued as guitarist with the Toronto stage production of "Hair" before signing to Axe Records (owned by Fergus Hambleton's brother, Greg) in 1973 for a series of singles and one album right through 1974. He dabbled in movie script writing (1977's "Kid Vengeance" starring Jim Brown, Lee Van Cleef and Leif Garrett), and after surviving a stroke in 1984 he settled in as a script evaluator. In the early '90s he moved to Wellington, Ontario to open "Jay's Bed & Breakfast". Having moved to Belleville, Ontario Telfer became the editor of an antique collector's magazine called The Wayback Times up until his untimely death May 20th, 2009 of heart failure.

Hambleton would later go on to be in the band RAIN, then would launch a solo career as FERGUS for Capitol Records before becoming a member of The Ginger Group, The Basics and, finally, finding great success with Toronto reggae act The Sattalites.
