At the beginning of their career the band performed covers of foreign hits and instrumental versions of classical pieces. With their instrumental tracks they gained attention of a Dutch record label, releasing their debut record in the Netherlands, thus becoming the first Yugoslav rock band to release a record for the foreign market. In Yugoslavia the band enjoyed large mainstream popularity, being one of the most popular Yugoslav bands of the 1960s. The band's frontman Slobodan "Boba" Stefanović left Zlatni Dečaci in 1967, the group disbanding soon after. After his departure from the band, Stefanović would start a successful career as a pop singer and composer.
