The band consisted of keyboardist Michael Brown, bassist/vocalist Ian Lloyd, guitarist Steve Love, and drummer Bryan Madey, and had a Number 1 hit with a cover of Hot Chocolate's "Brother Louie. Lloyd and Brown were introduced by their fathers, two old friends who had worked together for years as session violinists. Lloyd had been singing for years and had attracted local notice recording as Lloyd London. Brown had played with his group The Left Banke, which had made the U.S. charts with "Walk Away Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina". The two set about becoming a Beatlesque band.
