Having actually landed a gig before he had himself a band, Yellow Pages frontman Dan Hortter watched the Yellow Payges evolve from their beginnings as a house band of a Los Angeles nightclub to their becoming major concert attractions throughout the United States. Along with being named "Best/Most Promising New Artist" by two different associations, the Yellow Payges toured or performed with some of the biggest rock acts of the 1960's. They made numerous TV appearances, were featured in the teen magazines of their day, recorded ten singles and an LP and were successful enough to warrant being tied to a major ad campaign.  Largely - but undeservedly - forgotten today, it's very likely that the band could have reached greater heights had it not been for some questionable decisions on the part of their management.

This Los Angeles California garage band were the 'house' band at the "Hullabaloo Club" and played all the Sunset Strip hot Spots; "Pandoras Box" etc. After knocking them dead at the "Hollywood Bowl", the Yellow Payges were in constant demand for personal appearances. The Yellow Payges influences were definitely the Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Cream, and the Beatles, with a significant R&B influence as well.  As singer Dan Horter recalls, "We did a lot of stuff by the Stones - like 'Honky Tonk Woman', 'Paint It Black', and 'Let's Spend The Night Together' as well as the Yardbirds' 'Train Kept A' Rollin'' and 'Over Under Sideways Down'. (I also enjoyed) some of the stuff we wrote - 'Devil Woman', 'Crowd Pleaser', and 'Boogie Woogie Baby'. But the one that I have always enjoyed...the most was 'I'm A Man'. We just kicked butt  with that one!  We were absolutely a rock 'n' roll band." This is clearly in evidence on Volume One, the Yellow Payges' 1969 album. The LP - released by Universal records, containing the aforementioned "Devil Woman", "Crowd Pleaser", and "Boogie Woogie Baby", all straight on rockers.  Add "The Two Of Us", and the good ol' standby "I'm A Man" coupled with the Yardbirds raver, "Here 'Tis", an extended jam, and the result is a hard rocking album with just the right mixture of slower paced ballads.  The album does include several strong songs, with Ham and Barnes providing the majority of them. Though Hortter is not all together pleased with the outcome of the Yellow Payges' sole LP release, the album sold nearly 200,000 copies. And it didn't drastically affect their standing in the music world, as the band received 16 Magazine's Gold Star Award for "Most Promising Group of 1969." 

The Yellow Pages toured for a year with Eric Burdon and the Animals. There were several big names they either opened for or were on the same bill with - groups like Buffalo Springfield, Doors, Iron Butterfly, Pink Floyd, Turtles, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Byrds, Standells, Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Love, Leaves, Grass Roots, and Nazz before they changed their name to Alice Cooper.
