In 1959, the group was invited to record for the famous Josie label. Nick went to school at C.W. Post with Steve Blaine whose father was Jerry Blaine head of Josie. The song was “Cruise To the Moon.” It was produced by Steve Blaine and Mickey Eichner. “We go into the studio,” recalls Tommy Ronca, “and there is this big band. It was just terrific - the most exciting time. We never dreamed it would do anything. All of a sudden you start hearing it on the radio. I’m in my 1955 Chevy - my Dad’s car and I’m listening to my song on the radio. It was a wonderful time of life.”

While the group was waiting for Cruise to the Moon to be released (it was recorded in May 1959 but not released until the summer of 1960), they backed up Lee Adrian on Barbara, Let’s Go Steady and So Lonely (Richcraft Records). Off the success of Cruise to the Moon, the group became, what Tommy Ronca calls, the “Kings of Supermarket Grand Openings” as they played their share of the same. “We used to go in a limo, our record was really cooking then,” recalls Tommy. Other memorable shows included Murray the K gigs at Frontierland and Freedomland, shows with the Earls and one memorable show when they appeared with the Five Satins and one where they backed Paul Anka.
