The instrumental version of "Five Minutes of Funk" was used as the theme music for WNYC TV show, Video Music Box, an influential early hip hop music video show. The vinyl album is long out of print and the CD (only released twice, once in 1992 and again in 2002) is also out of print and any copies of either of them are valuable to collectors. In the 1990s, the band made an attempt at a comeback, and in that same year the group signed with MCA Records and released the fifth album Bag-A-Trix in 1991, which failed to have commercial impact, as it tried again to reinvent using the then-current sound of new jack swing. Larry Smith produced 6 tracks on the album, two of which co-authored with the band Major Jam Productions, which separately produced the other 4 tracks, and Fresh Gordon made music for other 4 songs.
Produced by Larry Smith. Friends – how many of us have them? Friends – ones we can depend on Friends – how many of us have them? Friends – before we go any further, let's be Friends Friends, by Whodini, became the group’s signature song. It peaked at at the Billboard Hot 100 and on the Billboard Hot Hip-Hop & R&B Songs. The instrumental of Friends was made famous again when sampled in Nas' If I Ruled The World. 1. Five Minutes of Funk.
