Argent's biggest hit was "Hold Your Head Up" (written by Rod Argent and Chris White). Released as a single in 1972, and taken in a heavily-edited form from the band's album "All Together Now", it was a Top 5 hit in both the US and UK, peaking at #5 in both countries. The original lineup re-united to perform at the High Voltage Festival in Victoria Park, London, in 2011 and did a short five-date tour as follow-up.

As well as Rod Argent, the other original members (most come from Hertfordshire, England) were drummer Robert Henrit and bassist Jim Rodford (later members of the Kinks) and guitarist/keyboardist Russ Ballard, who contributed to several compositions through the group's career (curiously some of Ballard's compositions became hits when they were covered by other bands, like Rainbow or Santana). When Russ Ballard left in 1973, his place was taken by guitarist and vocalist John Verity and guitarist John Grimaldi and there followed a period of intense recording and touring until the band decided to come off the road late in 1976.

The original Argent lineup re-united at the High Voltage Festival in Victoria Park, London, on July 25, 2010. They undertook a short five date concert tour in December 2010, with gigs in Frome, Southampton, Wolverhampton, Leamington Spa and London.

Ah, banyak orang gila
Ngaku - ngaku
Mrasa diri hebat
Sekeras batu
Padahal kaku
Seperti di paku
Bikin lagu
Kagak laku-laku

Jangan nge-rap deh
Mending jual jamu
Pergi sana deh
Kamu bikin malu
Ini tempat ku
Bukan tempat mu
Aku raja baru
Kamu hanya babu
He got money & hoe

Hah, woy asu
Jangan coba-coba maju
Mau berpacu
Hati-hati nanti jatuh
Jangan sok belagu
Punya uang disaku
Ku pacu, melaju
Kau ku sapu
Tak perduli banyak haters
Terus melaju
Tanpa ragu
Ku lempar kau seperti dadu
Ku bakar jadi abu
Pulanglah ke rumahmu
Di depan bapak ibumu
Kau mengadu
He got money & hoe

He got money & hoe

He got money & hoe

Ah, banyak orang gila
Oh, so many crazy people

Ngaku - ngaku
Pretending, pretending

Mrasa diri hebat
Thinking they're great

Sekeras batu
As hard as a rock

Padahal kaku
But really stiff

Seperti di paku
Like being nailed down

Bikin lagu
Making music

Kagak laku-laku
But it doesn't sell

Jangan nge-rap deh
Don't try rapping

Mending jual jamu
Better to sell medicine
