Their single "Happy Days" featuring singer Joe Roberts charted on the UK Singles Chart in early 1996.
Also in 1996, under the alias 6 by Six, the duo scored a UK chart hit with "Into Your Heart".
The vocals of singer Rowetta in the duo's 1990 song "Reach Out" has been sampled by many artists such as the Black Eyed Peas, Slam, Peshay, DJ Zinc, Todd Terry, Matrix & Futurebound, Steve Angello, Laidback Luke and Oliver Heldens.[1][2] In 2008, "Reach Out" was remixed and re-released with mixes by J Nitti, Peter Presta[3] and Mobin Master, among others.[4]
