The Sutherland Brothers' greatest success came through their collaboration with Quiver, whereby releases were credited to the "Sutherland Brothers and Quiver". The amalgamated group's first single, 1973's "(I Don't Want to Love You But) You Got Me Anyway", was a minor success in North America, reaching Number 48 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in the US, N. 20 on the "Cashbox" pop charts and peaking at Number 25 in Canada. After the release of this single, and after only a few gigs with the band, Batchelor (who had been Quiver's primary songwriter) left. After a few more shows as a five-piece, Batchelor was replaced by keyboardist Peter Wood. The six-piece group then recorded three other tracks that were included on a heavily-revised North American issue of "Lifeboat". In the US and Canada, "Lifeboat" was credited to the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver, although Quiver did not play on the majority of the album's tracks.
