W latach 1980-87 wylansowali czternaście singlowych przebojów nagrywanych wiernie dla wytwórni Polydor (m.in. „Feels Like The First Time", „Easier Said Than Done", „Night Birds”, „Dark Is The Night", „Down On The Street”). Niedoceniana muzycznie grupa zaprezentowała swoje jazzowe i funkowe umiejętności na kompilacyjnym albumie The Coolest Cuts wydanym przez K-Tel).
Po okresie komercyjnych zobowiązań przypomnieli się w 1989 ciekawym jazzującym albumem Turn The Music Up, pierwszym po pięciu latach rzetelnym nagraniu studyjnym. Sharpe współpracował z Garym Numanem (singel „Change Your Mind” z 1985r i wydany cztery lata później album Automatic).
