Beginning as a Hong Kong English pop band, The Wynners were assembled by manager Pato Leung in 1973 out of an earlier incarnation of the group, the Loosers.

[1] The next albums were equally successful, such as the 1976 release Some Kind of Magic, which included hits such as Save Your Kisses For Me,[2] a cover of the 1976 Eurovision winner by British pop band Brotherhood of Man.

Their success in music was mirrored other forms of the popular media, including a television show on TVB, the Wynners Specials (1975), and three feature films, Let's Rock (1975), Gonna Get You (1976) and Making It (1978).

On 1 April 2011, they reunited at the Artistes 311 Love Beyond Borders fundraising event set up by Jackie Chan in Hong Kong to help tsunami victims in Japan.

The group sang exclusively in English in their early days, mainly covers of popular songs from other parts of the world, most notably "Hey Jude" by the Beatles.
