Mel, ghostwriter of some of Flash's lyrics, became the leader of the group in 1983, after Flash and Kid Creole left The Furious Five and Sugar Hill Records for Elektra Records. The group continued as Grandmaster Melle Mel & the Furious Five; among their most important recordings were the single "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" and "I Feel For You", a collaboration with Chaka Khan that helped expose hip-hop to mainstream audiences.
