history
The musician Mike Gordon founded the group The Routers with some friends in 1962. In the early 1960s there were some "short-lived" dances such as: B. The Pony . They decided to record a song to go with this dance. The result was the song Let's go , with which they had a success in the US charts in 1962 and reached number 19.
