Background It is the band's most recent studio album (as of 2019) and the only one not to feature the founding vocalists (Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells) backed up by their long-time band, with some exceptions. It sold poorly and the band broke up in August 1976. Michael Allsup and Floyd Sneed had left the band in late 1974 to form their own group SS Fools, with former Three Dog Night member Joe Schermie, Stan Seymore, Wayne DeVillier, Bobby Kimball, and Jon Smith, to little success.

He was replaced by Jay Gruska. Track listing #"Everybody's a Masterpiece" (Ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
