Although the experience of the band "Playboy" is now nowhere to be found, the band was popular in Southeast Asia that year, and 20 hit albums also established their status, and even known as the Hong Kong Beatles, while lead singer Teddy Robin is the soul of the entire band. Someone described his song this way: "Teddy Robin's strange throat voice is unique, full of blues spirit in his bones, and it is quite in line with the introspective attitude and lonely state of mind of jumping out of the earth to see human beings." ”
The first all-Chinese band included Teddy Robin's younger brother and bassist Guan Wei, and Zheng Donghan, who later served as the president of PolyGram Records Universal's Pan-Asia Pacific region.

The popularity of this band also made people understand rock music more deeply, and played a certain role in promoting the development of rock music in the music scene at that time. At the same time, it also played a positive catalytic awakening role in the Hong Kong pop music scene in the midst of obscurity and chaos, which can be said to be the initiator of the Hong Kong music scene, and directly affected the Lotus Band of Hui Guanjie and the Wen na band of Tam Wing Lin.
Later, in recognition of his contributions to the music scene, Run Run Shaw also specially awarded him the Golden Plume Award.

N years later, at the 1981 Hong Kong Golden Melody Awards, a 20-year-old young man named Andy Lau was running around backstage doing chores, and Teddy Robin observed for a while and went backstage to find him and asked him if he would like to participate in "Caiyun Song" produced by him.
