Where it came from
Released in 1970 on the small independent Tropical Records label, this single represents the niche R&B and soul output that characterized many local labels during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Johnny Sutton and the Yondermen produced this record during a period when regional soul artists often balanced live performance circuits with modest studio recordings aimed at jukebox play and local radio airtime.
The record features a cover of the Coasters' classic Yakety-Yak alongside the B-side Tryin' To Make A Dollar. The production choices reflect a straightforward, no-frills approach to the R&B sound of the era, prioritizing rhythm and vocal delivery. While the artists remained largely outside the mainstream charts, the record serves as a preserved artifact of the grassroots music industry in the Southern United States during the post-civil rights era.
