They are best remembered for two Manny Freiser written songs, the original version of “Let’s Talk about Girls" (recorded as The Tongues of Truth, later covered by The Chocolate Watchband) and Cry A Little Longer, recorded by The Grodes, the #46 single on the All-Time Garage Rock singles chart.

The band broke up in August, 1968, when Patti McCarron and Manny Freiser became a duet, later recording as Fire & Rain in the 1970s.

Cry A Little longer has been released as video by groups including Imperial State Electric, Yard Trauma and Better Men Than You.
