Among the members were bassist Gino Jansen, guitarist Kier van der Werf, keyboardist Roy Kuschel, and drummers Robbie Brans, Tjalling Bos and Han Langkamp. Musmin wrote all the lyrics. In 1984 they released the single “Precious Little Diamond“, which reached fifth place in Germany, number 18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play, 15 in France, 38 in Belgium and 86 in the United Kingdom. Subsequent singles and albums were not successful. Dieter Bohlen has been cited with this song as the inspiration for using falsetto choruses in his songs, such as Modern Talking, C.C. Catch and Blue System. In 2013, the song was sampled in The Weeknd’s song “Wanderlust“, on his album Kiss Land. The Weeknd samples the melody, the original chorus and a part of the original lyrics.
