Default squeaky brakes

Hi,
I've been having this on again off again problem with my 69. The squeaking was really bad at one time so I replaced the rotors, checked the pads and for awhile all was well. It's been about six months since and really not that many miles, and the squeaking is back. It appears to be coming from the passenger side and only if you are coming to a slow stop. What's worse is that it does not happen all the time. It does appear to happen more often when the brakes have been warmed up. Stopping power is fine, it's just that any noise I can hear over the sidepipes has to be loud. Any suggestions as to what I should look for would be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you spray the backs of the pads with brake quiet?
