The group's breakthrough came with the single âSoul Supermanâ (1966) on Kapp Records, which reached number 42 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. In 1967, they released their debut album, Soul Superman. The following year, their single âBorn Freeâ (1968), backed with âLove Is Everywhereâ (1967), reached number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. This hit was followed by the album The New Born Free (1968) and the single âThe Impossible Dreamâ (1968), which reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.
