[edit] Early career
Formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1956 as the Latineers, they had hits in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s with songs such as "So Much In Love", "You Little Trust Maker" and "Ms Grace". The dichotomy is marked. "So Much In Love" by the now renamed Tymes was an American chart topper in 1963. But, the latter track reached Number One in the UK singles chart in 1975.
[edit] Later career
As of 2006, they are still performing, with three of the original four group members.
