Fox was the only remaining member of the original quintet when they disbanded early in 1977. The band broke up following a final recording, “Jesse Come Home” (which referred to the band’s namesake, the outlaw Jesse James), which was made with the collaboration of early member Phil Giallombardo. After two albums, “Bang” and “Miami”, Bolin was replaced by vocalist Bubba Keith and guitarist Richard Shack, who made “Newborn” (which featured a cover of the Elvis Presley song “Heartbreak Hotel”). Bolin left in 1974 to replace Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple. Troiano left to join Guess Who and was replaced by Tommy Bolin. Vocalist Roy Kenner and guitarist Domenic Troiano then joined the band.
