Almost 50 years ago, a band made an incredible song about inflation. Then the song was lost to the dustbin of history. Now, PlanetMoney is on a mission to make this record a hit.

Fast forward to 2021."Inflation" is making a roaring comeback. And Kinny gets a text message from a friend, Arthur Rouse. Kinny had given Arthur a cassette copy of"Inflation" decades before. The surge in prices rekindled Arthur's memories of the song — and, it turned out, he still had the copy. All of a sudden this dusty recording had resonance again., and requested we do something with the song.

But we began to investigate the story behind the song and brainstorm what we could do with it.Many of the members of Sugar Daddy and the Gumbo Roux went on to have solid careers in the music industry, playing in successful bands, writing jingles, and scoring movies. The most famous member, Randy Jackson, went on to be a music executive and co-host of. But, sadly, despite his incredible talent, Earnest Jackson never made it.
