The Quiet Jungle

[1] Hockey Night in Canada announcer Brian McFarlane approached the Secrets with a proposal, in early 1966, to record a novelty song he had composed for Toronto Maple Leafs player Eddie Shack, who was enjoying a breakout season at the time.

Titled "Clear the Track, Here Comes Shack", the single, backed by the lesser-known "Warming the Bench", was a simplistic, but catchy tune which was released on Canada International, and became a huge commercial success on Toronto's CHUM Charts, where it peaked at number one for two weeks.

[5] Despite the success of "Clear the Track, Here Comes Shack", the song was an artistic embarrassment for the Secrets, who desired to maintain a hip image on the coffeehouse and club circuit.

The group's follow-up, "Cryin' Over Here" on Arc Records, did not replicate the first single's sales worth; however, it is generally considered to be one of the Secrets' better releases.

[2] For their final release, Yorkville Records issued "Too Much in Love"; reaching number 13 on the RPM "Canadian Hits" charts[10] and is considered the rarest of the Quiet Jungle's catalogue.
