They solidified their future with diverse songwriting and a unique approach—the defied strict adherence to any one facet of rhythm and blues. The band's success stretches across several gold and platinum albums and triple Grammy nominations. They were the first British group to simultaneously top the U.S. Top 100 Singles, Albums and R&B charts, before garnering similar UK and international honors. Many of the band's tracks, including Cut the Cake, Queen of My Soul, Atlantic Avenue and Let's Go Round Again, attracted major chart action. Some of their album cuts, like Schoolboy Crush, Love Your Life and I'm The One, were sampled and spun as deep grooves.
