Jay Shanklin replaced Mims on bass, while Chuckii Booker, himself already an established session musician and songwriter/arranger, joined initially as an additional keyboardist, though he later inherited all keyboard duties upon Salas' departure.
Although it featured a minor R&B hit with a cover of the Ann Peebles song "I Can't Stand the Rain," the album could not sustain the momentum generated by "Firestarter," and the group broke up later that year.
Kipper Jones teamed with Rex Salas to co-write and produce Vanessa Williams' 1988 album The Right Stuff, including the hit title track.
Eventually drifting into the world of music direction and arrangement, Salas has received multiple Grammy and Emmy Award nominations.
Despite releasing a successful follow-up and its final studio album, Niice 'n Wiild three years later (spearheaded by another number one R&B hit, "Games"), Booker gained more prominence as a producer, songwriter, arranger, and session multi-instrumentalist for other artists as the decade progressed, shaping albums by Troop, Kool & the Gang, his godfather Barry White, Calloway, The Whispers, Vanessa Williams, and others.
