Manuel led the A-side "I Pledge My Love," and Goley the B-side "Flat Foot Charlie;" however, Goley is missing on the A-side.
Two members, Thompson and Jones, became integral parts of The Chi-Lites
. Thompson is the anchor of the group, with Robert "Squirrel" Lester being the only other original member. Sullivan previously sung with the Four Gents and later enjoyed a few releases with a family group produced by Marshall Thompson called the Classic Sullivans. Jones left the Chi-Lites once after their run of hits, then came back later, only to be dismissed.
