The group were managed by Danny Betesh of Kennedy Street Artistes. He negotiated a recording deal with Andrew Loog Oldham, who at the same time, also managed The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote the group's only hit, "So Much in Love",[1] which spent two weeks in the UK Singles Chart, reaching number 46 at the end of 1964.[2] The song fared better in Australia, reaching number 22.
The group released several more singles, including "Hide Your Pride[3] and "Blue Turns To Grey" which all failed to chart.[2] The band split up in the mid-1960s, though several members later joined the group Jigsaw, which had several chart hits in the mid-1970s.
