jazz-funk rocked the club scene. Throughout the 1980s the group enjoyed success not only in the
UK but also on the Billboard chart
in the United States. Their biggest and best-known
hit single was "Tell Me (How It Feels)", released in
1985 by the 10 Records subsidiary of Virgin Records in the UK and then months later on in 1986 on
MCA Records in the US.
