Argue left the band in 1974 to pursue a solo career.[1] Although the remaining band members initially continued as Chester, they released no further recordings before breaking up in 1975.[1] Mancel recorded a solo single under his own name; in 1977, Mancel and Morrow each separately revived the band name Chester for two singles.[1] New vocalist Fran Cheslo performed with Morrow's version of the band.[1] In 1996 the band received a Classics Award from SOCAN, to mark "Make My Life a Little Bit Brighter" having been played 100,000 times on Canadian radio.[5] A compilation album, containing the singles released by Chester and those released by Argue and Mancel as solo artists, was released in 2006 on Unidisc Music.
