They released their only single, "Music Sounds Better with You", on July 20, 1998. The song remains the only release of the trio. Shortly after the release Bangalter was offered 3 million dollars to produce a full Stardust album, but Bangalter, Braxe and Diamond have not worked together since.

Quote:Ingram’s smooth, silky baritone dominated the R&B, adult contemporary and pop charts throughout the 1980s with a series of high-profile movie themes and duets.
Ingram launched his career in 1973, performing with the band Revelation Funk, playing keyboards for the Coasters on Dick Clark’s oldies revues, and serving as the musical director for Leon Haywood. Super-producer Quincy Jones recruited Ingram for his solo album The Dude after hearing a demo of Ingram singing “Just Once,” and Ingram became Jones’s longtime collaborator — co-writing Michael Jackson’s Thriller hit “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” and “The Secret Garden” (performed with Al B. Sure, El DeBarge and Barry White) with Jones, and participating in the Jones-helmed 1985 all-star benefit single “We Are the World.”
His 1982 single with Patti Austin, “Baby, Come to Me,” went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Another collaboration with Austin for the film Best Friends, “How Do You Keep the Music Playing?,” was nominated for Best Original Song at the 1983 Academy Awards. He also sang "One Hundred Ways."
A top 20 hit with Michael McDonald, “Yah Mo B There,” won the 1985 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals. “Somewhere Out There,” a duet with Linda Ronstadt from An American Tail, earned him nominations for Best Original Song at the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars and won the Grammy for Song of the Year in 1988.

This guy always had a comforting voice. One of the video commenters said: "This is what America use to produce, I'm afraid it will not produce another Ray Price." As he was dying of Pancreatic cancer in December of 2013, Price offered a final message to his fans in the statement: “I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them. I appreciate their support all these years, and I hope I haven’t let them down. I am at peace. I love Jesus. I’m going to be just fine. Don’t worry about me. I’ll see you again one day.” Ray Price died at his home in Mt. Pleasant, Texas, on December 16, 2013. Good music for a Sunday Morning...
