The group was known for their disco style outfits and recorded six studio albums. Keith’s brother Johnnie wasn’t able to record the last album because he was left paralyzed after a car accident. They were responsible for many hits such as “Boogie Nights,” “Ain’t No Half-Steppin” and many more. We will continue to keep his family and friends in our prayer’s.
