[edit] Career

Their biggest success Stateside, was with their song "Black Girl", which was written by Leadbelly, and brought out in 1964. However, in their homeland the group was more famous for having a Number one hit in the UK Singles Chart in the same year, with "Juliet". Initially, their self penned ballad was only intended to be released as a "B" side. Interestingly, it was the only 1964 Number one by a UK group, not to chart in America. They finally folded in 1966, when their last single release "No More Sad Songs For Me", failed to chart.

The group's 1965 hit, "Until It's Time For You To Go", written by Buffy Sainte-Marie, was recorded by Elvis Presley in 1972.
