He had a moderately successful follow-up covering Robert Palmer's "Give Me an Inch". However, the North American rights for his album "Stealin' Home" and its follow-up "Siamese Friends" were held by the small Canadian label Mushroom. When label-owner Shelly Siegel died in 1979, Matthews' association with that label came to an end. The song "Shake It" is heard at the beginning of the 1980 movie "Little Darlings". It can also be heard on the radio in the game "The Warriors" from Rockstar Games.
