IN 1979, THE BAND WENT SEPARATE WAYS, HOWEVER, THEY RE-FORMED TWO MORE TIMES, IN 2014, AND AGAIN IN 2021. TODAY, THE BAND CONSISTS OF FOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERS, DAVE CHRISTOPHER, FRANK MCDONNELL, RANDY CANTOR, AND DICK SHERWOOD, PLUS A GREAT FEMALE SINGER, MICHELE RICCO.
RANDY CANTOR HAS BEEN AN OUTLIER KEYBOARD PLAYER AND SONGWRITER (CARRIE UNDERWOOD, RASCAL FLATTS). A SONG THAT FRANK (DRUMMER) AND DICK (KEYBOARDS) CO-WROTE, “HERE COME THE SIXERS” HAS BEEN THE WELL-KNOWN THEME SONG OF THE PHILADELPHIA 76ERS BASKETBALL TEAM FOR MANY YEARS.
THE CURRENT RELEASE- “LOOK TO THE SKY-PHILLY MIX” IS THE THIRD RECORDING BASED ON A UFO SIGHTING THAT FRANK AND DICK HAD IN 1978 AT 3AM ON THE ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESSWAY. THEY WERE DRIVING BACK TO PHILLY AFTER A NOVEMBER NIGHT AT THE PENALTY BOX IN WILDWOOD, NJ. A LARGE, BLACK, TRIANGULAR “AIRCRAFT” FLOATED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 75 YARDS IN FRONT OF THEM. THEIR CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO A HALT. THEY GOT OUT OF THE CAR (NO ONE WAS ON THE ROAD AT THAT TIME) AND WATCHED IT FLOAT BY, MAKING NO SOUND, AND DISAPPEARING OVER THE TREE-TOPS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.

“STUNNING ARRANGEMENT, SUPER COMPELLING…BLOWN AWAY BY THE VOCALS…AN ALMOST GOSPEL QUALITY…AN INTERESTING MESSAGE OF ACHIEVING UTOPIA AS A RESULT OF EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL INTERVENTION…TRIUMPHANT AIR OF GRANDEUR THAT’S SORELY MISSING IN MOST OF CONTEMPORARY POP/ROCK TODAY” APRIL 29, 2022.
THE “GOSPEL QUALITY” MENTIONED IN THE ABOVE REVIEW WAS CREATED THANKS TO THE TALENT OF LEGENDARY R&B ARTISTS CHARLENE HOLLOWAY, PAULA HOLLOWAY, AND ANNETTE HARDEMANN, WHO WERE BACKING VOCALISTS FOR SUCH LEGENDS AS PATTI LABELLE, TEDDY PENDERGRASS, AND LOU RAWLS.
