Llewyn agreeing to perform on "Please Mr. Kennedy" anonymously for quick cash likely was inspired by a similar incident involving Phil Ochs, who was close friends with the real-life Jim and Jean. Shortly after arriving in New York, he performed anonymously as the lead vocalist (accompanied by a children's chorus) on an album called "Campfire Songs" for $250. Unlike "Please Mr. Kennedy," it was not a hit, but can still be found on YouTube.
