They toured and appeared with Mickey Katz (father of Joel Gray of Cabaret fame.) They became so popular that they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Television Show and were wacthed by millions of Americans. They later toured all of Europe and they were the first group of their kind to appear in the Soviet Union and were one of the most popular acts there as Russian Jews throughout the world wanted to hear their recordings.
