Billboard noted they "(made) enough noise for a group twice their size" and "moves with a good beat and sound" but noted weakness when covering others' songs. Although each member played an instrument, the outfit was not strictly an instrumental group. Chuck Alaimo died in November 1978 at the age of 48. Bill Irvine (born William G. Irvine on February 22, 1934 in Rochester) died on March 16, 2021, at age 87. (en)
