They were replaced by ex-Komety lead singer Miloš "Reddy" Vokurka, Jiří Matoušek on keyboards, and Petr Netopil and Michail Vračko on guitars.
Best remembered was his 1971–1973 collaboration with Shut Up, later known as the František Ringo Čech Group, with whom he recorded numerous "bubble-gum" singles and one side of his only solo album.
