Brothers Jouko and Kosti Saari formed this duo and started their recording career in 1968. Salapoliisin tytär is from their second 45 release in 1969. The song is a cover of Dusty Springfield classic Son of a preacher man, although in this case the lyrics are about the daughter of a private eye. As it was normal back then, the arrangements made by Paroni Paakkunainen are pretty conventional and follow the original all the way. That don't matter of course, because the original is also pretty damn good song. Menee mikä menee on the b-side is a cover of A good thing going by Engelbert Humperdinck. The 45 is pretty easy to find for a reasonable price and the song also appears on the duo's self titled album Jouko ja Kosti (Finnlevy 1969) and the Toivekonsertti 37 compilation (Rytmi 1969).
