History

edit

Space Cadet Solo Flight was credited only to group lead vocalist KC. Featuring more of a pop sound than the previous albums,[citation needed] it was not successful as the album and none of the singles released charted in the US. The album is notable for including a cover of the Supremes' 1966 hit song "You Keep Me Hangin' On".
