The Wikipedia article labels these twins as a one-hit-wonder, but I wouldn't agree. Their follow-up single "Forget Me Not" went to US #12 and I think it qualifies as a hit, too. One-international-hit-wonder or one-crossover-hit-wonder label would fit here, if a label is needed. :)
Jack Pleis conducted music for artists such as Sammy Davis, Jr. and Harry Belafonte and later on also for TV series "The Wild Wild West" and "Gunsmoke".
The flip-side is pretty close to having a ska beat. :)
