• The story goes like one of those great, helium-filled musicals that Hollywood pumped up in the '30's. There's this nice looking kid named Jack Sigler Jr. see, who lives in Tampa, Florida (Moon, June, Palm trees and easy access to Miami Pop Festivals). He's hardly out of rompers when he turns into a music freak. At age 9 he starts with the guitar.By the time he's in high school (good old Brandon High), he's a star of the school band. Then round about 1967, he realizes he had it with Sousa and decides to form his own group. ("Can't cut the 2/4, kids. But we're gonna make it to the top--our way!")
• So Mercy is born, and the rebels from Brandon High start gigging at local dances, making good sounds but little noise. Jack checks in at the University of Southern Florida, juggles his band personnel a bit, jells the group in early 1968, By now Mercy is cooking better than ever but still getting nowhere. What they need, fans, is a BREAK.
• Enter one Hollywood producer, by the probable name of George Roberts, who has came to Tampa to shoot a snappy little film called Fireball Jungle with such heavies as Durwwod Kirby's son Randy, Lon Chaney, Jr., and the Lawman of television, John Russell. Now this producer, who happens to be a friend of Dad Sigler, hears the kids working out one day and --ZAP--decides to let Jack and his group do a number in the picture. No fans, you're wrong,--the song is not "Fireball Jungle." It is Jack Sigler Jr. original called "Love Can Make You Happy.".
