Rhythm & Blues / Pop formation from theUnited Kingdom , best known for their hitsong "Tribute (Right On)".A
vocal group firmly focused on themusic and artists from earlier decades, their music was heavily influenced by 1950sDoo-wop , 1960sMotown , and early 1970sFunk and R&B. The band was not given much attention in America, but they were briefly stars in their native country.The group scored a big UK #5 hit in 1988 with its initial release, "Tribute (Right On)", which paid homage to soul luminaries such as
Smokey Robinson andMarvin Gaye . They released a companionalbum , "To Whom It May Concern". In addition to "Tribute", the disc included the minor hit "Riding on a Train", and a version ofThe Chi-Lites ’ "Living In the Footsteps of Another Man".The group followed with "Elevate" in 1991 and "Yours Sincerely" in 1992, but never again charted in the U.S., although they landed a UK hit with a remake of New York City’s "I’m Doin’ Fine".
