Biography. Without a doubt, one of the best Dayton had to offer. with some of the sweetest collection of voices, with flowing vibrato harmonies and smooth, but average choreography, by Dayton standards. This was one of the groups that spawned more than a couple of national recording artists. There was an auto accident, one night after a show. Several members were hurt, and James Staten was killed. The next week virtually every band in town met at the Dunbar High School auditorium for a huge benefit Battle Of The Bands. in his honor.

Parts of the group rolled out for L.A. and ended up merging with the 4 Corners to become Platypus.
