The group was formed in 1962 in a neighborhood of Queens, and featured two pairs of siblings, along with a fifth member. The Safuto brothers had previously sung in the group The Dialtones. They recorded with the producers of The Tokens, releasing the single \"Denise\" in 1963. The song hit #18 on the US Black Singles chart and #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year. \"Denise\" was written by Neil Levenson, and was inspired by his childhood friend, Denice Lefrak. The song later became a European hit for Blondie, with the title changed to \"Denis\". Randy & The Rainbows' follow-up single, \"Why Do Kids Grow Up\", barely scraped the pop charts at #97, and the group never charted again.
