They had several big hits before Hewett departed for a solo career in 1985. He signed with Elektra, and his second single, I'm for Real, was a number two R&B hit in 1986. The follow-up single, Stay, also made the Top Ten, while I Commit to Love in 1987 reached number 12. Howard Hewett was married to Nia peeples which only lasted four years. Hewett remained on Elektra through the '80s and into the '90s, earning another hit with Strange Relationship in 1988, and duets with Dionne Warwick and Anita Baker. He's also been busy as a writer, producer, and session vocalist. Hewett co-wrote and produced Frustration for LaToya Jackson in 1984, and sang on her LP Heart Don't Lie. He did lead vocals on LPs by Stanley Clarke and George Duke in 1984 and 1986 and sang with Firefox in 1986, as well as doing backgrounds on a Donna Summer release. In 1994 he switched from Elektra to Expansion releasing It's time.
