The duo's members were the black Ronald Gumm and the white Beverly "Ruby" Ross; interracial pop groups were a rarity at this time, and the group did not appear in public or in major press and television outlets.
In 1958, they released a single together entitled "Lollipop". It became a hit in the U.S., reaching #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song would be covered by The Chordettes and The Mudlarks.
