They have periodically performed together on an irregular basis since 1978 and have issued several new albums. They followed this up with Guilty Pleasures (2001). The members pursued separate solo careers, but none had a fraction of the success they did as a group, although Stookey's "The Wedding Song (There Is Love)" (written for Yarrow's marriage to Marybeth McCarthy, the niece of senator Eugene McCarthy) has become a wedding standard since its 1971 release.

The group was created by producer Albert Goldman, who sought to create a folk "supergroup" by bringing together "a tall blonde (Travers), a funny guy (Stookey), and a good looking guy (Yarrow)". Reportedly frustrated, DuBrow began making disparaging remarks about newer bands on the L.A.
