The group began recording as "The Poppy Family featuring Susan Jacks" and had a number of hits from 1968 through the early 1970s. "Which Way You Goin' Billy?", originally called "Which Way You Goin' Buddy?", was written from a male perspective but was re-written at Susan's suggestion to be sung by a female.
The name Poppy Family was chosen when Susan, Terry and Craig were searching for a new name and, in a dictionary, came across those two words, defined as "varied species of flowering plant, etc.", and felt it applied to them. Susan and Terry were married in 1967 and Susan Pesklevits became Susan Jacks.
