The group consisted of Les Emmerson, Brian Rading, Ted Gerow, Mike Belanger and Rick Belanger. Originally recording and touring as The Staccatos, they chose the title of their second album (1969) as the new name for the band.
In 1969, the band recorded "Moonshine (Friend of Mine)" for an unsuccessful movie The Moonshine War starring Alan Alda.

A
Well I'm a stranger here in this place called Earth
and I was sent down here to discover the worth
D
Of your little blue planet third from the sun
A
Come on and show me what you've done
(main riff 2X)
A
We've got the aero plane, we've got the automobile
We've got sky scrapin' buildings made of glass and steel
D
We've got synthetic food that nearly tastes real
E
And a little white pill that makes you feel "Hey!"
A
A whole lot better when you get outta bed
You take one in the mornin' for the long day ahead
D
We've got everything everybody needs to survive
E
Surely the good life has arrived
A
I think your atmosphere is hurting my eyes
D
And your concrete mountains are blacking out the skies
B
Now I don't say that you've been telling me lies
E
But why do I hear those children's cries
A
I'm a stranger here, I'm just looking around
A
I see the aero planes carrying the bombs
D
Why, you've even found people to drop them on
B
You know you can't keep what you take by force
E
But it's only my first impression of course
A
And I'm a stranger here on the planet Earth
(main riff 2X)
A
We've got the rivers and the mountains and the valleys and the trees
We've got the birds in the sky, we've got the fish in the sea
D G C
We've got the... Oh you crazy fools don't you know you had it made
F
You were living in Paradise
D G
But take it from one who knows.. Who knows the gates of Heaven can close
C E
I only pray that you take my advice... Because Paradise won't come twice
A
Well I'm a stranger here in this place called Earth
And I was sent down here to discover the worth
D
Of your little blue planet third from the sun
A
I think I'll go back home where I come from
