In 1970 the duo joined STRAWBS for their live album "Just A Collection Of Antiques & Curios" and remained with the group for the next three years, contributing as writers to the albums and writing the biggest Strawbs hit single, 'Part Of The Union'.Following the release of the Strawbs album "Bursting At The Seams", the musicians departed to form HUDSON-FORD. They enjoyed a hit single with the song 'Pick Up The Pieces' and recorded three albums for A&M Records between 1973 and 1975.
