The group - which consisted of DeBarge, Williams, Jody Sims, Phillip Ingram and Eddie Fluellen - then recorded an album in 1976 under the name Hot Ice entitled Pall Mall Groove, which included DeBarge's incredible singing, piano performance and writing of "Please Don't Let Me Go," released in 1977 on Polydor/Germany and in 1979 in the USA/Canada as SMASH on Source Records/MCA.
Released in 1981, it was the band's first album not to feature brothers Bobby and Tommy DeBarge, although Bobby does sing on one track, and the last album to include Phillip Ingram, who would depart for a solo career.
