In spring 1985 was released the single “You’re A Woman”, which became a massive hit in Europe.

In 1995 Mo Russel (born March 15th, 1956, Aruba, Caribbean Sea) joined the group, but he left in 1999. In January 2005 Andrew Thomas left the group. In February 2005 John was joined by backing vocalist. One year later, in January 2006 the group was joined by Carlos Ferreira (born April 11th, 1969, Mozambique).
