an rca records executive saw a four lovers performance and was impressed with the presentation enough to recommend the quartet to the company's artists and repertoire department. they were signed to the rca victor label for a series of records to be released in 1956 and 1957. in may 1956, "you're the apple of my eye"/"the girl of my dreams" and "lovey dovey"/"please don't love me" were released simultaneously by rca. the four sides were recorded in a single april session (with two other songs that were released as a single in january 1957).
