The band began as Mark & The Escorts (SEE MY POST EASTSIDE BANDS - MARK & THE ESCORTS) who changed their name in 1966 to THE MEN FROM S.O.U.N.D. As you might expect is was a play on words from the popular television show THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. The SOUNDS come pro a popular British horns band, Sounds Incorporated.

As with many Eastside Bands of the day, this band went through some different incarnations. The band would take on member George Ochoa (SEE MY POST EASTSIDE LEGENDS - THE SLAUSON BROTHERS) as their lead vocalist.

The band was extremely popular and played nearly every venue on the Eastside circuit.

Another incarnation of the band featured the addition of Steve Verdugo who played keyboard, guitar and was a lead vocalist. Steve would go on to record "Hollywood"/"My Lady" for Ediie Davis' Gordo Records in 1973.
