The group started as a covers act, nevertheless parlaying a string of frat party gigs into a local television appearance that reportedly caught the attention of famed producer Phil Spector, who extended a management contract.

The group released an album, That Acapulco Gold, and the title song (written by Tim Gilbert and his roommate, John Carter) made it to #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967 but was pulled once it was realized it was a pro-marijuana song (see Acapulco gold).
