Their 1976 album, Babyface, hit #47 on the US pop album chart and #19 on the Black Albums chart, due to the success of the single, "Baby Face". It had previously reached #1 for Jan Garber in 1926 and Art Mooney in 1948.
The single went to #1 on the US Club Play chart, #6 AC, #32 US Billboard Black Singles, and #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single also reached #12 in the UK Singles Chart.
Sometime in 1975 Atlantic Records launched their very short-lived Wing & A Prayer subsidiary label in New York City, primarily to provide an outlet for the Disco studio groups Consumer Rapport and Wing & A Prayer Fife & Drum Corps assembled by Harold Wheeler, who had been associated with the Broadway musical The Wiz, at a time when Disco was in its infancy. Just 2 albums were released in their existence along with 6 singles and all we now have at our disposal is the original vinyl covered here as, insofar as I can tell, no CD compilation of their work exists nor have any of the sides even been included in any multiple-artist quality CD compilations.
