Their association with Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire brought them their greatest success, with the White-produced single "Best Of My Love" spending five weeks at #1 on the US pop chart in 1977. Jeanette returned to the group in 1978, and the group collaborated with Earth, Wind & Fire on another single, "Boogie Wonderland", which was a top 10 hit in 1979. The group continued to record together during the 1980s, and were signed briefly with Motown Records at one point. However, they were not able to repeat the success they had during the disco period. They released their final album in 1990.
