Their first recording, Franny Franny (credited to "The Ebb Tides"), was the result of meeting talent scout Murray Jacobs in 1957[5] and was widely played by Alan Freed.[6] Later releases were on Jacobs' newly formed Recorte Records,[4][7] before the group moved on to Madison Records.[1]
One of their recordings that reached the charts, "Jukebox Saturday Night", was a cover of a Glenn Miller tune.[8] On September 4, 1961, their "Juke Box Saturday Night" charted on Billboard's Top 100, reaching number 57.[4]
The group was managed by Ralph Fusco, also from the Bronx, NY.[citation needed]
