They got their first big break at the Oasis, where Fontana Records producer Jack Baverstock saw enough potential to sign them. Their first minor hit was Hello Josephine in 1963. Like many beat bands of the era, they specialized in serving up revamped Ru2019nu2019B covers, achieving a breakthrough with soul singer Major Lanceu2019s Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um. This, their fifth release, charted at number five.rrBut it was their next release The Game of Love, which earned the band a prominent place in the Sixties pop pantheon. The song narrowly failed to reach Number One, but proved a slow-burner, gathering momentum after its release.

The mindbenders u2013 minus Wayne u2013 gained another Stateside hit with Groovy Kind of Love, and a British hit Ashes to Ashes, before a string of flops led to them calling it a day in 1968.
