In 1992, the group released a dance cover version of Bryan Adams' "Run to You", which reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart.[2] Subsequent singles, including a dance remake of "House of the Rising Sun", fared less well on the chart,[2] although an album titled Saviour was released in 1993.

Singer Tony Jackson, who had previously performed backing vocals for Billy Ocean, Amii Stewart and Paul Young, among others,[3] died in June 2001.[4]
