"Firecracker," their biggest hit, peaked at number four on Billboard's R&B chart in the late summer of 1979. They disbanded in 1983, following their eighth album. Rap group <a href="spotify:artist:58Dx4HPzeOO3dbpD9YYEes">2 Live Crew</a>'s own biggest hit, "Me So Horny," was released six years later with a sample of "Firecracker" as its instrumental basis. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
