The quartet was active between 1962 and 1968, which was when Durham left the group. The group re-formed in the early 1970s and recruited Louisa Wisseling to provide vocals. The group disbanded again in 1978. In 1988, the group re-formed with Julie Anthony and Karen Knowles providing vocals. In 1993, Durham reunited with original members Guy, Potger and Woodley, and they have toured on and off since then.
Below is an extensive discography of their hits across the world, where they scored numerous successes in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States.
