Biography :

Very little information on this group except that the two very good songs were written and arranged by Tommy Boyce.  The career of Tommy Boyce begins as early as the late 1950s. In those days, Tommy had established himself as one of the brightest young writers to ever come out of the legendary Brill Building days. His first big break came when he wrote "Be My Guest" for Fats Domino. He wrote the song alone but gave writing credit to the artist, as well as the person who helped him get the song to the artist.   In 1962 Tommy accepted an opportunity to move to New York and write for Ray Peterson and Curtis Lee. His collaboration with Lee resulted in Boyce's second top ten song, "Pretty Little Angel Eyes". They followed this up with the single "Under The Moon Of Love". Singer Anita Darian, New Yorkers know her from performances with the New York City Opera and the New York Philharmonic, but in pop music her claim to fame was the high soprano vocals in The Token's "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".  Darian also provided backing vocals on The Destineers "Take A Look (In The Mirror).
