The band originated from Alabama and relocated to Hollywood in March of 1977. They were managed by late great fashion designer Bill Whitten, who is known for his remarkable designs for Michael Jackson, The Jackson’s, Neil Diamond, Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Lionel Richie, The Commodores, Red Foxx, Cicely Tyson, Richard Pryor, etc., etc., etc.
His two nephews Flip and Don along with Leo, Greg, and the others had all grown up playing music together in bands around the Birmingham area.
After numerous performances and a U.S. tour the band returned to Los Angeles and was signed to MCA subsidiary label, Source Records.
These recording were going to be their debut lp but the band was dropped and this lp was shelved and never came out.
According to a band member some of these songs were released without the bands knowledge by Bob Riley on Equity Recording’s “Spiral Series”
This is the only legitimate and most likely the only surviving copy of the full session as it came from a collection bought from the Source Records office.

A few of these songs are on YouTube if you wanna get a taste though the sound quality in the videos leave a lot to be desired.
