About the artist
Valerie & Everett Hull perform "Foreign Policy", the spoken-word flip of the Swank Records song-poem single HFCS-167, whose A-side "Chicago Policeman" is sung by Harry Burgess to a lyric credited to Everett Hull - indicating Hull was the paying lyric customer, with Valerie joining him to voice the flip themselves. Swank was a lyrics-set-to-music-for-hire operation. Not to be confused with Everett Hull (1904-1981), the founder of Ampeg. [Source: songpoemmusic.com; Discogs]
