They and the Mills Brothers, another black vocal group of the same period, gained much acceptance in both the white community and black community.

You were sweet sixteen, you were sweet sixteen

I love you as I never loved before! 
Since first I met you on the village green. 
Come to me, or my dream of love is o'er! 
I love you as I loved you, 
When you were sweet 
When you were sweet sixteen. 

When first I saw the lovelight in your eye, 
And dreamt the world held naught but joy for me. 
And even though we drifted far apart, 
I never dreamt of what I dream of thee 

I love you as I never loved before! 
Since first I met you on the village green. 
Come to me, or my dream of love is o'er! 
I love you as I loved you, 
When you were sweet 
When you were sweet sixteen.
