The group formed in 1985 in Boston, Massachusetts. “All Of Me For All Of You” reached #5 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The group performed on Soul Train, American Bandstand, and Solid Gold. They also provided backing vocals for a single with Patti LaBelle called “Shy”. The group continued until 1987, when disputes over the material, production, and personal matters forced the group to disband.
