They signed to Polydor Records in the year of their formation, and Frank Wilson produced their debut set, which was released as a self-titled album early in 1979 but then was repackaged under the title It Must Be Love several months later. The title track was released as a single and charted well, but the second album did not sell well, and the group was dropped less than a year after its release. They split in 1981.
