Some of the band's biggest hits include "I Believe," "Hey, Leonardo (She Likes Me for Me)," "I Wanna Be There," and "Brother My Brother" which was used in the US release of the first Pokemon movie. Their debut album, "Home," was certified gold by the RIAA in 1995.
In 2000, several of the band's songs were scheduled for use during the production of a film entitled "Standing at the Edge of the Earth" by Fizzle Freak Productions. The film would have co-starred the band's bassist Tony Clark, as well as the rest of the band featured in prominent roles. The film's production was canceled in late 2000 early 2001 due to legal and financial issues.
In 2006, Jeff Pence headed a project in which the band contributed two tracks for "Clutch Hits," a CD that featured a variety of artists singing about the Cincinnati Reds. The songs were entitled "Play Ball" and "Me, Marty, Joe, Ted & Louise." The project was a fund raiser for the Reds Community Fund.

So you're scared, to show your feelings
Baby, I do understand
Well, I don't make a promise I can't keep
In those big green eyes I see a glow of love
I just hope that I'm the one you're dreaming of
1-Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh, baby, oh, baby, let me be the one
We spend all our time together
We can't stand to sleep alone
When you say you have to leave for now
I miss you before you're gone
2-All along we thought this was absurd
Every moment that we spend goes by too fast
Darling, darling take this chance with me
'Cause I have eyes only for you
Oh, baby
(rpt 1, 1)
Don't be scared to show your feelings
'Cause, baby, I do understand
I don't make no promises that I can't keep
And I vow to be a real good man
(rpt 2, 1)
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Oh, let me be the one
'Cause I love, I love, I love, I love you, baby
