The song Till We Kissed saw Ray Columbus and the Invaders win The first Loxene Golden Disk award in 1965. The Golden Disc was the forerunner to the NZ Music Awards - or Tuis - and in September 2009, Ray and the Invaders were named winners of a Legacy Award. Emma Smith talks to Ray Columbus about the honour.
