They played a mix of pop, pop rock, and psychedelia. The band was a studio act and did not perform live. Most of the songs were written by Tony Macaulay and Geoff Stephens, a songwriting duo for Pye Records. The band achieved its greatest success with its first single, "Smile A Little Smile For Me," which reached number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and sold over a million copies by December 1969. Riding the wave of success, the band's first self-titled album was well received by the public. However, neither a single nor the band's second album, "Down To Earth With The Flying Machine" (1970), achieved success, and the band disbanded in early 1971. Stuart Colman achieved his greatest success as a session musician, producer and presenter of his own weekly rock show on the BBC
