[5] Linscott joined when the band played at Dingwalls and she performed with them whilst working there as a waitress.
Inspired by the tight disciplined playing of Spenner and Hubbard, Kokomo was unusual among white soul bands, for its use of four featured vocalists.

Kokomo continued to perform with a fluid line up, until Spenner died in August 1991.
In May 2008, Kokomo was reformed with Mel Collins, Tony O'Malley, Neil Hubbard, Mark Smith, Adam Phillips, Andy Hamilton, Paddy McHugh, Dyan Birch, Frank Collins, Bernie Holland and Glenn Le Fleur.
