OBS toured Norway in 1970 for 4 months with Jack Daley the American country singer |
| From Oslo in the south to Hamerfest and the Russian border in the north, OBS visited every nook and cranny of Norway. At the end of the tour they recorded "Rock Island Line" which became a Norwegian No. 1 hit later in the year! | |

OBS visited nearly every City, Town and Village in Norway. They often appeared in the local papers as the biggest happening in town. The girls arrived at dances in Red Boots which seemed to be the only footwear available at the only shop in town....... the SPAR. |
