 With Val Stevens leaving at about the same time to form his own jazz trio (he later spent some time in England, where he had spells with Tucky Buzzard and Steve Hillage's Khan), Kennedy convinced the group to recruit fellow former Soul Searcher William "Smitty" Smith on the grounds that he could play bass on the pedals of his Hammond organ, meaning there would be fewer musicians to pay.The revised line up, comprising Grant Smith (vocals), Ralph Miller (trumpet), Brian Ayres and Steve Kennedy (saxophone), Ken Marco (guitar), Wayne Stone (drums) and William Smith (keyboards) was responsible for recording the bulk of the group’s album in November 1968, which also included the band’s debut single.In early 1969, however, Marco, Kennedy, Smith and Stone left to form Motherlode, who had a massive hit with "When I Die".
