If I remember correctly, Michael had one additional solo top 30 single in 1975 with Just A Little Bit Of You, and We’re Almost There may have charted in the lower half of the Hot 100. The move to Epic most likely saved their careers and definitely was instrumental in the chart dominance of Michael Jackson that began in 1979...
that's exactly my point. wonder why Motown blew the chance to redo the group once DM hit big. as with what other's have said, the decline prior to DM is understandable because of oversaturation and a group not keeping up with the times. but then DM was so hot, you'd think that their immediate follow up and other songs would build off of that. As would a subsequent album
