Without luck with the record companies Willie Calia left  to begin a solo career for MGM Records and Andy Moraglia also left to record with The Blendaires on Tin Pan Alley Records, these changes became The Chalets broke up.

Finally Tru-Lite relesed in 1961 the Chalet’s sides and The B Side have a good airplay locally, the record was reissued in the Dart and Musicnote records with the mentioned side as_Fat-Fat-Fat Mom-Mio-O. and with some variation, an obtrusive saxophone covering up the words "liquor store" in the intro and the end of the song is more short (problably from an alternative take from Tru-Lite Records).

LISTEN... the variation side...



In the 80’s Andy Moraglia reformed the group and this recorded for labels as L.I.R.R.A. or Starlight Records (see, Revival Years section).

The group got its start in 1952 at Western Kentucky College in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Originally the group was a trio formed by three students; Jimmy Sacca, Donald McGuire and Seymour Spiegelman. They later added a pianist, Billy Vaughn. the group took their name from the nickname of Western Kentucky College's sports teams.

They have Hit records as_Trying. and_ P. S. I Love You. Their sound was more progressive than most of the pop groups of 1952. They were clearly influenced by the R&B groups of the time and actually became an inspiration of R&B/doo wop groups to come.
