Their first single was on the Ven label. In the later fifties they began recording in Clovis, New Mexico, under Norman Petty. They had several releases before recording their big hit 'Wheels'. "Wheels" was released in 1960 and was a hit in 1961. The tune peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the number 8 single of 1961 according to Billboard. The track reached number 8 in the UK Singles Chart. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.Warwick Records paid few royalties to the band and they declared bankruptcy as they were being sued to avoid paying more. The writers of the song did receive their royalties, including Norman Petty. There were several cover versions, including by Joe Loss ("Wheels Cha-Cha") and Billy Vaughn.The String-A-Longs followed up "Wheels" with "Brass Buttons" (U.S. #35), "Should I", and "Replica". In 1961, they moved to Dot Records; they released Wide World Hits on Atco in 1968.Keith McCormack, singer, guitarist and songwriter, died of a stroke on April 10, 2015, at age 74.".
