The Natural Four was signed by ABC Records after their  first release, "I Thought You Were Mine" rose to number seven on the charts and sold 30,000 copies; their subsequent releases did not repeat the success of their initial recording.
ABC Records saw the group's potential and picked them up. Their first release, "I Thought You Were Mine" sold 30,000 copies locally, after being regularly played on San Francisco soul/R&B radio station KSOL and on Oakland's KDIA where it rose to #7 on the chart. Their second release on Boola Boola, "Why Should We Stop Now" was re-released and, ABC then released "The Same Thing in Mind", a remake of their first hit "I Thought You Were Mine", and a cover of The Temptations' "Message From a Black Man", but none repeated the success of their initial recording.
