"Killer Joe" reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1963. They followed up with another Bob Elgin song called "Like the Big Guys Do", which peaked as high as No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. Among their other recordings was a Christmas novelty song, "Santa, Santa", written by a then-unknown songwriter, Neil Diamond. The Rocky Fellers also recorded another Neil Diamond song, "We Got Love" which is available on their LP, Killer Joe from 1963. The Rocky Fellers faded quickly from the music scene in the mid-1960s, primarily due to the arriving British Invasion bands and lack of interest from other record buyers. Tony Maligmat died on March 4, 2007, at the age of 62. Albert joined the Society Of Seven in the 1970s where he was billed as "Little Albert" Maligmat, played drums and electric bass, and was the lead vocalist on one of the group's biggest hits, "99.8" He left the group to pursue a solo career but returned for several years in the 1980s. As of November, 2017, Albert and Eddie are performing in Waikiki. Later, they would go on to form under a brand new name, The Fellers in the Rockys (The American Mountain Range). (en)
