The group went on hiatus in 1990, while its various members worked on side projects, such as the group Bell Biv DeVoe. The group continued for a time with four members, but eventually recruited singer Johnny Gill to record their 1987 album Heart Break. The song peaked at #21 and inspired the group to record Under the Blue Moon, an album of doo-wop covers. During this era of the group's evolution, the group appeared in the episode of Knight Rider titled "Knight Song", performing "Count Me Out."
