the "rhythm of the night" album became the band's best-selling work, going platinum and featuring further hits such as "who's holding donna now" and "you wear it well". following the end of its successful promotion, however, both el and bunny debarge departed from the group after motown offered them lucrative solo deals. without the powerful harmonies of the brother and sister duo, the rest of the debarges were not considered commercial enough to keep going, and they were dropped from the motown label in 1986.
