[1] Early in their careers, the group earned popularity by playing cover songs of popular English-language songs (such as Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs' "Wooly Bully" and The Beatles' "Penny Lane") that were translated into Spanish; beginning in the 70s, the band established themselves throughout Latin America as one of the top bands with a string of successful original slow ballads and grupera songs.
[2] In 1994, lead singer Arturo Cisneros left the band to pursue a solo career and now performs under his own name.
[3] In 1962, five high-school friends from a small town of San Andres, a suburb of Guadalajara, State of Jalisco, Mexico, united their incipient musical skills to form a group called The Freddy Boys that would eventually become one of Mexico's most popular bands and influential in the development of Spanish music across Latin America for the next 30 years.
They played in bars (La Jacaranda), dance halls (Esmirna, Atenas Versailles, Flamingo).
The band then began touring throughout Mexico (Mexicali, Ensenada, Agua Prieta, Culiacan, Nogales, among many others).
