One-hit wonder

In early 1967, the band (music)|group was signed to the MGM Records record label|label (supposedly because management saw the band's clean-cut image as an antidote to the hippie influx). They recorded a self-titled, eleven-song LP album|LP containing a selection of Wes Farrell 's and Jerry Goldstein (record producer, musician)|Jerry Goldstein 's songs, "clean summer rock (with almost imperceptible echoes of The Beach Boys")
. The album included "Come On Down To My Boat" (listed on the album as "Come And Take A Ride In My Boat") which shot to #6 on the Billboard charts| Billboard charts in July 1967. The song had first been recorded by another group, The Rare Breed, with the same music producer.

Because the group was signed to MGM Records, MGM Television (by way of Arena Productions) decided to feature the group in a two-part episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. , " The Karate Killers|The Karate Killers (The Five Daughters Affair) ," singing the song in a nightclub as a fight breaks out.

Although the debut single was a hit, the group could not sustain its initial success.
