JerJimHan stands for Jerry Yates, Jim for Jimmy Rollins and Han for Hanley Johnson, owners of the label. Jerry Yates, guitarist, teacher, author and studio operator, headed Jerry Yates Publications (located in Saginaw Street, Pontiac Michigan) known as "The Home of Space Age Methods for Piano, Guitar, Accordion, Organ and Banjo" and was widely known for its guitar literature.

Hanley Johnson was born in Arkansas. He moved to Pontiac, Mi. in 1950. He worked more than 30 years at General Motors Fisher Body Division. As Tye-Tongue Hanley, he released two sides on the small Detroit R&B indie J-V-B label (started by record store owner Joe Von Battle) with “I’ll Try To Understand” and “You Got My Nose Wide Open” in 1955.

In the sixties, on the weekends he would go to Detroit with his blind friend Jimmy Rollins and jam at the studio. They eventually moved the studio to Pontiac and named it JerJimHan. Hanley and Jimmy wrote most of the music recorded for the label. Hanley Johnson died of prostate cancer in 1996

Three other singles on the label were released on JerJimHan: 103 Glenn Steffins : Half a Heart / It's Your World 104 Hymes Sisters with Cathy & the Goldtones 105 Chris Bradley : If I Get Over This / One Heartache

The Living Dolls girl group backing voices on this recording are The Hymes Sisters along with a couple unknown African American girls
