and had 10 Top 20 Hits. Harmonie beat with a 12 string guitar, which influenced the US band BYRDS, they where
one of the best and most successful bands in the beat boom years. They didn't write to many songs on their own,
that was the bringdown in the next years. Live always amazing, they had a comeback with 2 great LPs in the beginning
of the 80s, but sorry some years later they split in two different bands, working in the cabaret-club scene.
