Their followup album, 1975’s Red Octopus , had even greater success. Marty Balin, who had contributed and sung the ballad “Caroline” on the previous album, officially returned to the Jefferson fold as a full-time member in January 1975 and stayed with the group for nearly the remainder of the decade. The Balin penned single ” Miracles ” peaked at No. 3 on the chart, and along with the single “Play on Love” (No. 49 US Billboard Chart), helped to propel the album to eventual multiple-platinum status and topping the Billboard 200 chart. It would be the biggest selling album of the band’s career. Creach quietly left the group soon after in August 1975 to pursue a solo career.
