Domingo Samudio, who is known as Sam the Sham, left the music industry after reaching success with the song to work in the oil fields. He spoke about this controversial decision during an interview with Gary James. “You asked me why I would go back to the field,” he said. “After having won a Grammy, people would talk to me. ‘Have you got any music?’ I would come in with these songs, and they'd say, no, no, no, Sam. Bring me another 'Wooly Bully', another 'Lil Red Riding Hood', another this, another that. Why did I go to the oil fields? 'Cause I got tired of games.”
He also spoke about the other icons that the band had the opportunity to work with over the years, revealing, “We used to open for The Beach Boys. We did a lot of dates with The Beach Boys. Then we did multiple dates with different people. We did some different dates with Peter Asher and Gordon Waller, Peter and Gordon. That was it. We did the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. We did the White Sox Stadium, Wrigley Field in Chicago. We did Pasadena with Sonny Bono and Cher. We did some dates with James Brown. So, that's what we did.”
The band had another top 10 hit with their song “Wooly Bully,” which was named Billboard’s number one song of the year in 1965, even though it never actually reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song peaked at No. 2 while the top spot was occupied by “Help Me, Rhonda” from The Beach Boys and “Back in My Arms Again” from The Supremes.
