**Bio of The Suspicious Can Openers** The Suspicious Can Openers were a 1970s soul group hailing from Columbus, Ohio. They initially gained recognition as a backing band before transitioning to their own music career. The group featured several brothers from the McMahan family and adopted a name inspired by the psychedelic scene. They performed in local clubs for about a year. Upon returning to Columbus, their manager Roy Hoover collaborated with Eddy Parker to establish Mo-Soul Productions. By this time, the group had evolved into a full large horn-funk ensemble. They recorded a couple of Parker's songs, including the energetic "Fever In Your Hot Pants" and the slower "Tuesday In the Rain," the latter serving as a backing track for an unreleased vocal. During the early 1970s, The Suspicious Can Openers played throughout the region and Midwest. In 1974, the Mo-Soul group released a 45 by Vikki Kenyatta, featuring a vocal version of "Tuesday In The Rain" that utilized the same instrumental recording previously released by the Can Openers. It remains possible that the vocal was recorded earlier. The Mo-Soul team also released one more 45 on the Kandun label, although it is unclear if any members of the Can Openers were involved, as the Jupiter's Release band is credited on that label.
