Fascynująca kompozycja Hayesa i Portera pozwoliła kwartetowi zaprezentować wielogłosowe umiejętności, przypominające chwilami wokalizę soulowego duetu Sam And Dave. Muzycznej rzetelności zespołu nie towarzyszyły niestety płytowe sukcesy. Zaledwie trzy single: „The Sweeter He Is” (z 1969 r.), „Hearsay” (z 1970 r.) i „I’ll Be Other Woman” (z 1973 r.) trafiły do pierwszej dziesiątki amerykańskich przebojów rhythm’n’bluesowych. Po likwidacji wytwórni Stax, grupa w trzyosobowym składzie przeszła pod skrzydła Epic Records. W 1983 r. Colbert, pod pseudonimem J. Blackfoot, odniósł sukces w USA i Wielkiej Brytanii singlem „Taxi”.
