Signing with Philly-based label WMOT Records, the group's single, "Baby I Need Your Love Today" b/w "I Don't Care What You Say," stirred interest and was picked up for distribution by Berkeley, CA-based Fantasy Records. The group recorded three LPs, Above The Clouds (1976), Sweet Thunder (1978), and Horizons (1979, listed the single "I Leave You Stronger," which went to number 63 R&B in late 1979). Newberry joined another WMOT Records group, Impact, who is best known for the dance hits "Give a Broken Heart a Break" and "Rainy Days Stormy Nights." The singer signed with Neil Bogart's Casablanca Records in 1983 and his single "Love Town" was a Top 20 U.K. hit. The Love Town LP was issued the same year. He has also recorded for Malaco Records and Omni Records (the LP Take a Piece of Me).
