They appeared on an episode of SOUL!. Click on the link and go to around the 33 minute point. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.

Maybe the library has microfiche of old papers and magazines that has something about them. They were a little known group on a small label who didn't release much and had no big hits, so probably didn't get much press. If they got any mention at all, it was most likely in a black teen magazine like Right On! or Soul Teen.
