Apart from playing the guitar and singing, Jim became the manager of the group who got them a recording for Olimpic records in 1963 "(Please Try) To Understand Me / Swingin' Little Chicky" said album was later reissued on Itzy records.
Souslin composed the words and music of both songs on the record and he was the vocal leader on these two songs, after this recording nothing more was heard from this group.
