From 1963 until 1965 they were the original house band at The Mynah Bird Club in Toronto's Yorkville Village, and following that became regular performers at Club 888,The Bluenote, The Devils Den, Chez Monique, The Hawks Nest, the Main Hotel in Buffalo, New York and a performance at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, as well as being the only group that performed both Saturday afternoons and evenings at the Orange Hall in Brampton.

Robbie Lane and the Disciples, etc, and this allowed them to perform with Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Joe Tex, Ronnie Hawkins and Rick James..and to record their first single "Tell Me About it " for Yorkville/EMI records with producer Greg Hambelton at Sound Canada Studios in 1967

" If only you can see one band this weekend, then Bobbi Lee and the Scepters is the band you must see, and is worth the effort and your two dollars"

proclaimed reporter Tara Clarke of the Brampton Gaurdian in 1967.
