The Kingbees only released two albums before disbanding in 1982.

Okay, let's get this out of the way right from the start - The Kings are keenly aware that they are mainly known for their 1980 hit "This Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide."Being a so-called 'one-hit wonder' is something they seem to embrace, in fact lead singer David Diamond proudly adds "it's better one than none!"However, you'd be doing yourself a grest disservice if you didn't poke further into their discography which includes about a half dozen other albums.
