The song "Man From Utopia" was the flip side of Donald Woods & the Velaires
notorious "Death Of An Angel." The key lyric of "Man From Utopia," "Mary
Lou, big fool" was a variation of the Medallions "Mary Lou" - Woods & the
Velaires had defected from Vernon Green, leaving him with essentially no
Medallions in 1955.
|
|
The title "Utopia" was taken from the well known Utopia Cleaners on 97th
Street in Watts.
