They are best known for their 1974 single "Rock the Boat", which sold over 2 million copies, hit number one, and helped establish disco as a sound.

[4][6] Still with Karl Russell, the group's first big break came in 1972, when they were invited to appear in the blaxploitation film, Blacula, starring William Marshall.

After their participation in the Blacula-project Karl Russell was replaced by Fleming Williams and the group signed with RCA Records; their second single for the label, "Freedom for the Stallion", from the album of the same name, became a moderate hit, reaching #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

"Rock the Boat" was written by Holmes, who also wrote the Blacula songs, and was released in the U.S. in February 1974 and in the UK in July of that year.

Whereas some sources claim the year of disbanding as early as 1978, archive footage of a television special for the Chilean TV in 1979 promoting their performance at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival proves the opposite.

[5] In an interview with Gary James, St. Clair Lee said that after some time Williams was brought back into the group and in turn replaced Tommy Brown.

[9] Around 1975, Karl Russell rejoined the band taking over the role of lead singer after Fleming Williams had left for good.

[11] James can be seen in the Chilean TV-footage from 1979 promoting their performance at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival and is also shown on the cover of the group's last album Boogie Me, Move Me from 1980.

[12][13] In later years, circa the 1990s St. Clair Lee revived the group and recruited Bruce Glover and Elaine Woodard as the new members.
