"I've Had It", released on Time Records, was a nationwide hit in the U.S. in March 1959, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. They released four further singles in 1959 – "Old Spanish Town", "That's Right", "You're a Big Girl Now", and "White Buckskin Sneakers & Checkerboard Socks" – but only "Old Spanish Town" charted, peaking at No. 76. The band was managed by Natalie Fredericks. In 1960, they signed with Madison Records and released two singles,"Shortnin' Bread" and "Friendly Star" followed. "Shortnin' Bread" hit No. 96 in the U.S. and was their last hit; they broke up by 1962. In 1964, the group appeared in the series of Nu-Trading Rock 'n Roll Trading Cards. (en) |
