Nama Koes Plus mulai dielu-elukan khalayak secara live setelah tampil membawakan lagu Derita serta Manis Dan Sayang dalam acara Jambore Band di Istora Senayan November 1970. Saat itu Koes Plus tampil bersama band Panbers dan beberapa band sohor lainnya. Semua peserta menyanyikan lagu Barat berbahasa Inggris. Hanya Koes Plus yang berani tampil beda dengan menyanyikan lagu ciptaan sendiri berbahasa Indonesia. Sejak itu popularitas Koes Plus seolah tak terbendung, menggelegar, dan merajai industri musik Indonesia. Terlebih setelah Koes Plus berpindah ke label Remaco yang dipimpin Eugene Timothy. Koes Plus akhirnya menjadi mesin hits yang terus dipacu tiada henti oleh Remaco. Dalam catatan pada tahun 1974 Koes Plus merilis sekitar 24 album yang berarti setiap sebulan sekali Koes Plus merilis 2 album.

Barangkali tidak ada orang-orang Indonesia yang waktu itu masih berusia remaja yang tidak mengenal Koes Plus. Kapan Koes Plus mengeluarkan album baru selalu ditunggu-tunggu pecinta Koes Plus dan masyarakat umum.
