In 1970, under the guidance of Mickie Most, the group released their first record, "Love Is Life," which reached number 6 in the charts. This marked the beginning of a successful fifteen-year career during which they achieved over 30 hits and became the only UK group to have a hit for fifteen consecutive years.
