The band consisted of American Jimmy Helms (who also had a successful solo career and sang radio jingles for Radio Hallam and Hereward Radio in the UK), Trinidadian born (Jan 29) Jimmy Chambers and Charles Pierre. Other members over the years included multi-instrumentalist William Henshall (credited as Willy M), George Chandler (formerly a founding member and frontman of Olympic Runners), Marc Goldschmitz (subsequently a member of the band Leash) and Myles Kayne. Before the 90s, they are best known for the UK Top 20 hit, "9am". In 1990, they scored a US #1, Canada Dance chart #1 and UK #2 hit, "I've been thinking about you".
