The group gained fame for their socially conscious lyrics and powerful vocal harmonies. They are best known for their hits such as "I'll Take You There," "Respect Yourself," and "Let's Do It Again."

They were heavily involved in the struggle for racial equality and performed at numerous civil rights rallies and events. The group's unique blend of gospel, soul, and R&B music earned them a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.
