In 1961, bass singer Alphonso Howell persuaded Yvonne Mills Baker that the group should re-form, and they won a contract with Chess Records subsidiary label Argo.They soon had a hit with a version of "Music, Music, Music", which reached #12 on the R&B chart and #54 on the Billboard Hot 100.A few months later, they released the tune "Let Me In".It was their biggest success, peaking at #2 R&B and #4 on the Hot 100.However, later releases were less successful and the group broke up. Yvonne Baker later started a solo career, recording a number of tracks that achieved cult status among Northern Soul fans, most notably "You Didn’t Say a Word" on Parkway Records in 1966.
