The song "Love Is Strange" (1956) sold over one million copies and was awarded
a  gold disc by the RIAA. The duo eventually bought their own nightclub, formed
a publishing company, and formed their own record label. Although Mickey & Sylvia disbanded by the end of the 1950s, they continued to record together on an
infrequent basis until 1965 and Mickey eventually moved to France.
