Mike Bell, now going by his birth name of Michael Belanger, left the group partway through the recording of their 1973 album "Sweet Paradise", and bassist Brian Rading left just as the album was being finished. The album produced several hit singles, including "I'm A Stranger Here", their highest-ever charting hit in Canada. Emmerson, Gerow and Rick Belanger attempted to keep things going with new players for a time, producing singles in 1974 and '75, with minimal chart success outside of Canada.
