Recording for the Scepter label which also brought us the incredible B.J. Thomas, The Buoys are actually listed as a Chicago area band. They released 4 singles between 1969 through 1971 but the biggest hit was "Timothy". They are also known for having the help of Rupert Holmes as arranger and songwriter. Actually the "sixth Buoy". Rupert was also a silent partner with Ron Dante on the amazing bubblegum classic "Tracy" by The Cuff Links. Rupert's recordings of this period from working with The Buoys can be found on his Excelcior self-titled lp from 1980. The Buoys may have be used as session players for these songs.
