They were the first all-female modern music singing group to be marketed and launched from Hong Kong.
They started singing in the late 1960s with HK English pop songs and were contracted with the local Crown Records between 1969 and 1972,<ref>{{cite news |title=「筷子姊妹花」70年代走紅 |url=https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20110614/00176_022.html|publisher=Oriental Daily |date=14 June 2011}}</ref> having a release total of four LP albums and not more than 10 SP/EPs.
