Their second and third singles, "Promises, Promises" and "When The Lights Go Out", were also hit singles. However, their second album, Fuel For The Fire and the single "(What) In The Name Of Love", were not as well-received and the group broke up soon after its release. Byrne ended up doing session work (he is heard on Stevie Wonder's "Part-Time Lover") while Fisher joined the group Climie Fisher.
