Ma hope o kekahi manawa, makemake ʻo Posey e hoʻokolohua me nā ʻano. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, ua pūlima ʻo ia me Columbia Records ma 1971. I kēlā manawa, aia kahi wikiwiki wikiwiki o ka hoʻohuli ʻana i nā hōkū pop 1960s i mau mea pena mele ʻāina kaulana.

Bring Him Safely Home to Me, i kākau ʻia e ia a hoʻokani ʻia e Posey, ua hiki i ka 20 kiʻekiʻe ma ka Billboard Hot 100. ʻElua mau mele ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a ʻike ʻole ʻia i nā mele hou o nā makahiki 1970.
Ua hoʻāʻo hou ʻo Posey ma Monument Records, a laila ʻo Warner Bros. mooolelo. Akā ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku kēia mau mea ma mua o ka liʻiliʻi a ʻike ʻole ʻia ka hoʻi ʻana i nā pakuhi ma nā kūlana lalo. Mai ka makahiki 1980 a hiki i ka waena o ka makahiki 2000, ua haku ʻo Sandy i nā haku mele hou i kēlā me kēia manawa, a ua paʻa kekahi o ia mau mele. Loaʻa nā hana hou aku no ke kūʻai ʻana ma ka pūnaewele.
