Without any further chart success, Dan-I remains listed as a one-hit wonder, although he continued to release several albums as a solo artist under independent record labels and as lead singer for various other bands, most notably the L.A.-based gospel reggae band, Unity, in the 1980s.{{Cite web|title=dan-i-biography|url=http://hstrial-pbarrow1.homestead.com/dan-i-biography.html|access-date=2020-07-08|website=hstrial-pbarrow1.homestead.com}}
