During their recording career the band recorded tunes by a diverse range of artists including Tim Buckley, Randy Newman, Janis Ian, James Taylor, Bob Dylan and classical composer Eric Satie.

Their biggest hit Spinning Wheel, was one of their own though, written by one time lead singer David Clayton-Thomas. The tune has been covered by many singers including Peggy Lee, Shirley Bassey, and Nancy Wilson. James Brown scored a hit with an instrumental version of the song.
