Several songs feature the twin saxophones of Pete Zorn and Pete Thomas, and for about 18 months after the release of Hand of Kindness, Thompson toured with his "Big Band" that featured the two sax players prominently. The analysis focused on sequences in which one person sent a signal for help, such as asking directly or visibly struggling with a task, and another person responded. Cultural differences like these have created a puzzle for understanding cooperation and helping among humans,” said Rossi, the paper’s first author.

In 2021, Thompson's ex-wife Linda cited album track "How I Wanted To" as her favorite of her former husband's songs.

How people share resources has been found to vary across cultures, particularly when stakes are high and when interactions are anonymous. These and other factors could in principle make it easier for people to say ‘no’ to small requests, but this is not what we find.

The authors identified more than 1,000 such requests, occurring on average about once every two minutes.

Although there are differences in the rates at which such requests are ignored, or require verbal acceptance, cultural variation is limited, pointing to a common foundation for everyday cooperation around the world.

A singularly magnificent singer, Linda Thompson may yet achieve a more broad-based pop stardom on her own, but the special brilliance of the work that she and Richard did together was incalculably more than the sum of its parts — a fact that inevitably colors one’s response to Hand of Kindness, Richard’s first solo album since the split. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved.

People complied with small requests seven times more often than they declined, and six times more often than they ignored them. The average rates of rejection (10%) and ignoring (11%) were much lower than the average rate of compliance (79%).That suggests that while people decline helping only for a good reason, they give help unconditionally, without needing to explain why they are doing it.
