Commercial success

Q released a single, titled "Dancin' Man," in Spring 1977 (the B side was entitled "Love Pollution"); spurred on by regional airplay and a full-page ad taken out in Billboard magazine, the single became a Top 30 hit in the US, peaking at number 23. In the UK, though not a national hit, in London the song reached number 8 on Capital Radio's 'Capital Countdown' Top 40 in May 1977.

Q's debut album, also titled "Dancin' Man," was less successful, reaching #140 on the Billboard 200. The group's second single, "Sweet Summertime," stalled out at number 107 in the US, essentially rendering the group a one-hit wonder.
