I am Yvonne Slater, the Lead singer for the group. I am so excited to have contact with Paul Rey and to remissness about all the great times we had. The guy's are my brothers in my heart always. I still sing today and have many hours of studio time under my belt. I have written many songs and sang the lead and background. Thank you for keeping us alive on You-Tube! We have so many followers and it is Great!
