Jackson and Townsend left in 1994, and the group disbanded. In 1998, the group reformed and released "Love Zone" and a few years later announced a return to live appearances with Conley, Jackson, Townsend and Collins only to be cancelled when Townsend was found dead at his home. Townsend, son of producer/songwriter Ed Townsend (co-writer of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On"), died of unknown causes on October 26, 2005, at the age of 50, almost two years after his father.
