In Terms Of Line-Up And Musical Style They Anticipated The Sound Of The More Successful Hot Chocolate. Original Vocalist Clem Curtis Left In 1968 And Moved To The U.S. For A Solo Career On The Club Circuit Encouraged By The Likes Of Wilson Pickett And Sam & Dave Playing Las Vegas With The Righteous Brothers. He Was Replaced By Colin Young. The Group's Final Hit Was The Less Pop-Oriented More Sophisticated Born To Live And Born To Die.
