The original founding members were Steve Salvari, Camelle Hinds, Lipson Francis and Henry Defoe.
In early 1978, four of the TFB members got back together, and expanded the previous format by recruiting Linton Beckles (born Linton Charles Beckles, 17 December 1955 – 3 April 2015)[3] and Kim "Jake" Le Mesurier (younger son of English actors John Le Mesurier and Hattie Jacques and brother of longtime Rod Stewart guitarist Robin Le Mesurier).
They toured with Roy Ayers, Grover Washington, Fat Larry's Band and the Real Thing.
One of the Feature Picks, the album was reviewed by Cash Box in the magazine's 26 December issue.
With the reviewer praising London r&b bands, Central Line was called "the true cream of the genre" with "Walking into Sunshine" singled out as a testament to that.
After working with Barry White, Robert Palmer and Sheena Easton,[2] he continued in the music industry as a record producer.
Mel Gaynor left after their debut album was released to join Simple Minds, and soon after Henri Defoe enjoyed a writing collaboration with Michael Finbarr Murphy.
