The next was E Pluribus Funk, with a VERY classy cover! Some might say that was a rebound album with "Footstompin' Music" and "Upsetter" being the singles. This was the time when they fired Knight as their Manager.

Then came Phoenix (Knight is no longer the manager, a keyboardist is brought in, updated sound...rising like a phoenix, perhaps?).
