"Their first huge smash was the still-lovely, timeless "If I didn't Care," with those patented, mystically soaring tight harmonies, which sold 19 million records and was followed by a string of big hits including: "My Prayer," "We Three," "Maybe," and "When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano." They maintained their faithful following into the early 1950s, and, according to the Hall of Fame biographical information, "became one of the first acts to break down racial barriers by performing at previously all-white Southern venues."
