The song doesn't remain the same

[BrunoRepublic]

I've always found it strange that there are a few "acts" where, over time, the entire lineup changed to the point that none of the original members remain.

The Ritchie Family is one such example... all the vocalists were replaced in 1978, and then by the 80s they were using different producers. As a result, there is no common thread between their first and last album.

Rinder & Lewis pawned off a few of their projects in the early 80s as well, most notably Saint Tropez.

Tonight I picked up an album by the Salsoul Orchestra that I'd never seen before called "Heat It Up". Imagine my surprise to find that it's a Patrick Adams production... and it sounds every bit like one, except for the Synergy-esque track "Columbia: The Space Shuttle". One track even has Jocelyn Brown on vocals, and the whole album has Adams' distinctive funk feel all over it.

Likewise, I also picked up MFSB's "Mysteries Of The World"... this is about as far away from "Love Is The Message" as you can get and still file it under R&B.

Any other examples of this bizarre sort of marketing?
