Touble and GI sold respectable numbers and produced hit singles. The success was nowhere near that of the FM though. But, once he started waiting longer to release the records, the sales declined even more. I mean he waited five years to get OOTC out. Then he waited too long after The Dance to get GOS out. Both of those records had hit singles in them and could have sold at least as well as L&O. But, by then, many had forgotten him, which is sad. His star is not as bright to the masses, which is sad because he has so much talent and the music on those two later records was great and very accessible, well at least for him
