They run in the same orbit as Little River Band, Kenny Loggins, Huey Lewis & The News, Robbie Dupree and Journey, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Maroon 5, Paul Young, Victoria Justice, Billie Jean and INXS, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
