They first hit the charts in 1961 when "The Watusi" landed at #25 and hit again in 1964 when "My Girl Sloopy" reached #26. The latter became a #1 hit for The McCoys a year later as "Hang On Sloopy."
The group managed two additional chart appearances before their career was over: "Misty" peaked at #63 in 1965 and "Love In Them There Hills" stalled at #93 in 1968.
It should be added that these guys originally recorded under the moniker of The Jayhawks, scoring a hit with "Stranded In The Jungle," which reached #18 in 1956. And in 1961, The Vibrations recorded another hit, "Peanut Butter" (#20), but the record label they recorded under called them The Marathons.
It's a complete mystery way something as amazing as "'Cause You're Mine" failed to reach the charts.
