Give and Take is the fourth album from the Dynamic Superiors, and their last on Motown Records. Released in 1977, it includes covers of Martha and the Vandellas' "Nowhere to Run" and Stevie Wonder's "All In Love Is Fair". It is also noted that singer Mariah Carey sampled the song "Here Comes That Feeling Again" for a song she recorded called "When I Feel It" (co-produced by Mahogany) which was intended to be released on her album The Emancipation of Mimi, but was denied clearance for the use of the song by the songwriters (It was leaked out to the internet later, but still remains officially unreleased).

 The Sky's the Limit is the fifth and final album by The Dynamic Superiors released on the Venture label in 1980. It was available in very limited quantities and is extremely hard to find. This is the only recording with Tony Washington's replacement singer Tony Camillo, a prominent singer, songwriter, who had a hit with the group Bazuka, with the 1975 song "Dynomite". The sessions would later be released on CD in 2003 by P-Vine Records.
