The group scored a US pop hit in 1957 with the song "Baby Oh Baby", released on Johnson Records; the song cracked the Top 30. Further singles passed with little success until 1960, when producers Donn Fileti and Wayne Stierle re-issued "Baby Oh Baby". The tune hit number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 upon re-release. The group issued several further singles, as well as a split LP with The Dubs in 1963.
