Summing up the group’s achievements and pinpointing the reason for their success, Ronnie Eades highlighted the quartet’s strength as a unit, their camaraderie, and their “one-for- all, all-for-one” ethos. “We were a team, a well-oiled machine,” he stated with perceptible pride. “We worked together, ate together, slept together, did everything together. We knew each other’s thoughts… We did well and really had a good run.”
