They caught their break in 1982 when they were discovered at a talent show at Boston’s Strand Theatre by music producer and songwriter Maurice Starr. The group took 2nd place. Starr was impressed and offered them a deal on his label Streetwise Records. The next day they started working on what would become their debut album, Candy Girl and the single “Candy Girl” was the song that started the trail of success.
