They were allegedly acclaimed as "the fastest rising
rock'n' roll group" of 1966. An article in 'KRLA Beat' in late 1966
featured an article about them.
Even before their third single had been issued, however, they found
themselves back in various colleges in Southern California,
beginning their Freshman year, in September 1966.
Steve Barri said the following about them:"At that time,
again we always seemed to jump on what craze was happening
at the time and at that time there was a lot of success by artists
who were sons of stars, and Tony Thomas was the son of
Danny Thomas, and a very good drummer as well.
It was just this little band that he had that we heard and again,
it was an opportunity for us to have someone do our material
and the songs which we were writing, and we felt we had
a good shot with them. They did do an Ed Sullivan show
and one of the songs we had out with them, "Autumn",
got on the charts here, but it was never that successful.
"While on the first two singles, background vocals were
mainly P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri, from the 3rd single onwards,
the group would participate more in their recordings.
Greg, Tony and David added their voices to P.F. Sloan
and Steve Barri's background vocals.

You could search the whole world over
But you'd never find
A girl so easy to fall in love with
But so hard to get off your mind
I knew the first day that I saw her
I'd soon be living my life for her

(Chorus)
Autumn, Autumn (Autumn)
How your name has touched my heart
Autumn (stay beside me), Autumn (close beside me)
Say we'll never part

She's so completely different
From other girls I have known
She does the things you'd expect her to do
But in a way that's all her own
You don't know what she does to me
When she's makin' love to me

(Chorus)
Autumn, Autumn (Autumn)
How your name has touched my heart
Autumn (stay beside me), Autumn (close beside me)
Say we'll never part

I thought I had life down pat
Love 'em, leave 'em and be on my way
(Love 'em, leave 'em)
But girl, since you gave your love to me
In your arms is where I'll stay

(Repeat chorus & Fade out)
