Multiple versions of the group, including one trademarked by Sawyer and Beaton, toured into the following decades. In the 1970's, a lot of Disco/RnB groups had their own 'Theme Song', which usually were instrumentals with little or no input from the artist themselves. A comeback album, From Out of the Blue, was released on Def Jam subsidiary OBR in 1989. Most of the essential gems that are on Greatest Hits are also on Soulful Spell, and that includes 'Sideshow,' 'Three Ring Circus,' and 'Stop to Start,' as well as 'Look Me Up,' 'Spell,' and 'What's Come Over Me' (the original 1974 version, not the 1975 duet with Margie Joseph ). a music that naturally led to the development and success of groups such as the O'Jays, the Drifters, the Jacksons, the Four Tops and Blue Magic. Blue Magic had two more R&B chart singles in 1975 and four in 1976 before suffering a commercial slump, but they returned with R&B chart singles in 19. Derrick Ricky Nelson, Ace Mungin, DJ Sir Charles Dixon (6:42).
"Three Ring Circus," their next single, made the R&B Top Ten and the pop Top 40. They hit the Top 40 of the R&B singles chart with their first three 45s before breaking through and crossing over with "Sideshow." Released in April 1974, it went gold, topped the R&B chart, and became a Top Ten pop hit. The group specialized in dreamy ballads and choreographed stage moves. Blue Magic, an R&B vocal quintet whose members were Ted "Wizard" Mills, Vernon Sawyer, Wendell Sawyer, Keith Beaton, and Richard Pratt, formed in Philadelphia and signed to Atco in 1973.
