With Colin Blunstone's gauzy vocals and Argent's scampering piano, "She's Not There" was one of the British Invasion's jazziest singles. Between falling for Elvis and the Beatles, Argent discovered Miles Davis, who became a subconscious influence. "When I wrote and played 'She's Not There,' the last thing on my mind was jazz or Miles," says Argent, "but those things filtered through."
