He Did Not Produce Anything For Another Three Years Until He Was Signed To Sussex Records An Offshoot Of The Buddah Label.

But After Mixed Reviews And Low Album Sales He Was Dropped From The Label Which Later Folded In 1975. After Failing To Make An Impact In America He Gave Up His Career As A Musician.
