Band formed at the university of Arizona by Clyde Battin( Vocal, Guitar,Bass), Gary S. Paxton (Vocal, Guitar), Dick Gabriel (Sax Player), Bobby Verbosh (Rhythm guitar) and Reed Clements (Drums). In 1957 moved to Phoenix to record with Rev records the sides "Betty Jean / Bermuda Hots" present in the Complete Book of Doo Wop but really don't have a doo wop sound.
After Clyde and Gary they recorded as Chuck &The Chuckles on Shad, Clyde Gary and His Orchestra on Shad, Gary & Clyde on Rev and May Records and finally moved to the Brent label, with the new name Skip And Flip.
The duo charted in 1959 #11 with _It was It. and #71 with_Fancy Fancy. in 1961 charted again #11 with the Marvin & Johnny 1954 side_Cherry Pie. this tune have a imitation to the vocal group sound.
