Being mostly top 40 covers and four original songs these records didn't make much of an impact. With this being so band member Al McKinney eventually met up with John Mackey of the Baltimore Colts. Mackey happened to be Verdine White's next-door neighbor and thus a cassette of the group was passed along to White who became impressed. White went on to bring in Larry Jacobs from San Francisco to be the group's lead vocalist.[3] As an eight-man band the Pockets got signed in 1977 to Columbia Records. The group then started recording their first album which was being produced by White.[4] Entitled Come Go With Us the Pockets debut LP was issued in October 1977 by Columbia.[5] Come Go With Us got to no. 17 upon the Billboard Top R&B Albums charts.[6] The album's lead single "Come Go With Me" also rose to nos. 17 & 32 upon the Billboard Hot R&B Songs and Dance Club Songs charts.[9][10] The Pocket's sophomore album Take It On Up was issued in 1978 on Columbia Records.[7] The album reached No. 22 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart.[8] The LP's title track reached No. 24 on the Billboard Hot Soul Songs chart.[9] They would go on to have a third R&B top 40 hit with "So Delicious" which made it to no 34. Other songs that charted were "Catch Me", and "Happy for Love". The latter charted at 69 in the R&B chart and no 79 in the dance chart.[10] The band eventually reformed and along with another classic R&B act Breakwater went about a tour of the United Kingdom during 2016 & 2017.[11][12] MembersOriginal lineup
