Originally this is a group from the United States. The original members were the sisters Lillian, Louise and Carmen Lopez who acted as The Lopez Sisters in the previous years.
Shortly after the start of Odyssey, Carmen decided to leave the group. The sisters went looking for a male successor and found it in the Filipino bassist-singer Tony Reynolds.
