In addition to a string of British hits, the band charted internationally with their song "You to Me Are Everything", which reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart, #28 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart and #64 on the Billboard Hot 100. By number of sales, they were the most successful black rock/soul act in England during the 1970s.
