Today, the Fleurs de Lys are perhaps best known for their cover of The Who's Circles, many believing that the Fleurs De Lys' version is superior. By this point, Phil Sawyer had joined the group and his guitar work really sets this track apart from others. The track was a great improvement on the band's first single, an unwanted cover of Buddy Holly's Moondreams which they felt was totally unrepresentative of them. To make things worse, their own superb track Wait for Me was not relegated to the b-side but replaced by a Jimmy Page instrumental falsely credited to the Fleurs de Lys. To add insult the track carried the same name as their hoped for single Wait for Me. Following a couple of personnel changes including the recruitment of Gordon Haskell on bass the band moved to London and virtually became the house band for Polydor which was the UK distributor for Atlantic (Stax). This turned out to be an excellent apprenticeship where they developed their own soul sound. They recorded a number of excellent tracks backing South African singer Sharon Tandy including the group's own Hold On and the Graham Dee / Brian Potter composition Daughter of the Sun. The Fleurs de Lys were also the backing band on Rupert's People's Reflections of Charlie Brown, a track not supported by the band and adding to the confusion about their history. By now Bryn Jones had replaced the departed Phil Sawyer and he further developed the sound of the Fleurs De Lys.

By now there was a constant stream of singles either by the Fleurs De Lys or backing Sharon Tandy. Many of these came from the songwriting team of Dee and Potter. There was also an attempt to create a new power duo with the band's new singer Tony Head linking with Sharon Tandy. While Two Can Make it Together was widely regarded as a great single a vinyl pressing supply issue is credited with preventing its chart success.

Without a doubt this was a hard-working band that did not gain the success it deserved. Paul Anderson and Damien Jones' book starts to right this wrong by providing an excellent read that is well-researched and well-written.
