Quotes & Notes


Chronologically, "My Sweet Potato" is the first MG's song to be available in stereo—on the And Now! album—after new recording equipment was installed at Stax in the summer of 1966.

"Booker-Loo" became the only charting B-side in the MG's catalog. It made it to the Billboard R&B chart on November 19, 1966, more than two months after the A-side. It charted for five weeks, peaking at #37.
