The year 2000 was a busy year for LFO, featuring nonstop tours, performing at over 230 concerts that year. The label loved the original versions of the records so much that they left all of the vocals from Brian, including leads on "Can't have you".
This album featured many vocals from original member Brian.

"Summer Girls" made its way to the Top 10, eventually reaching the number 3 position on the Billboard Hot 100, and the number 1 position on the Billboard single sales chart.

Among the songs LFO had recorded in an attempt to make a demo was a song called "Summer Girls". Wood had been a long-time friend of original member Brian Gillis. Still signed with Trans Continental and now with Arista Records, LFO recorded some new material with Dow Brain, Brad Young and Danny Wood of New Kids on the Block, at Underground Studios second location, the basement of a 200+ year old house in Needham, MA.

Devin decided that the group should discontinue being called Lyte Funky Ones and use the name LFO exclusively instead. Devin Lima, an employee of a hardware store at the time, was chosen in place of Gillis. In 1999, Gillis was frustrated with the lack of progress that the group had made so he left to pursue a solo career, which led him to multiple college tours and a job in the music industry, with a radio promotion position in Florida with BMG.Īfter Gillis left, Fischetti and Cronin still wanted to continue to pursue their dreams of making it big, so they headed back to the United States and had an open audition. In 1997, they released a cover of New Kids on the Block's "Step By Step" as a single. LFO had marginal success with the remake of the Yvonne Elliman song, "Can't Have You", which missed the Top 40, reaching No. In 1995, in Fall River, Massachusetts, Rich Cronin met Brian Gillis, who was also known as Brizz. The band is best known for their hit songs "Summer Girls", "Girl on TV", and "Every Other Time".
