The Baroques formed in 1966. In January 1967 they signed a contract with Chess Records. By June 1967, both the album "Iowa" and single "Mary Jane" were released and banned in the same week. The ban was imposed by some local DJs whose stations directors thought "Mary Jane" was a pro-drug song about marijuana. Jay had actually written it as an anti-drug song but no one got it.
