The album was the group’s first release after signing a six-year deal (for 12 LPs) with RCA, valued at a multimillion-dollar amount comparable to artists such as Kenny Rogers and Diana Ross.

[25] According to *Rolling Stone*, the album's and singles' modest success on U.S. charts did not prevent the group from becoming "a cultural phenomenon driven by marketing prowess and the sale of essential non-musical merchandise.
