A talented songwriter whose influences included Bob Dylan and Ray Charles, Croegaert wrote two songs, “Take It On Home” and “Stop It Girl,” that the band recorded on a local label (Feature). In 1967 the record was released on the Phillips label. When that happened, Phillips added “Wylde” in front of the band’s name to make them “The Wylde Heard.” Both songs can be found on a compilation CD, “Psychedelic Crown Jewels – Vol. 3.”
