The band's big break arrived in 1973 when "The Joker" landed at #1, the first of three chart-toppers for the band. The other two were "Rock'n Me" in 1976 and "Abracadabra" in 1982. In-between #1 smashes, the band was on a roll through the 70s with classics like "Take The Money And Run" (#11), "Fly Like An Eagle" (#2), "Jet Airliner" (#8), and "Jungle Love" (#23).
"Cool Magic" was the follow-up single from "Abracadabra," and it surprisingly only went to #57. The band tried to adapt to the changing sound of 80s music, but it didn't work out to well and their last chart appearance came in 1993 when "Wide River" landed at #64. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.
