This is The Informers; a Philly based group that recorded " If You Love Me " and " Baby Set Me Free" in the sixties on J-Rude and Blackjack labels respectively. After a period of hiatus due to military service, the group resumed as The Fabulous Performers on Blackjack label. After a car accident involving most of the members in 1971, they disbanded. However, they reformed in the nineties as The Informers to record one more record, " Lady Of The Night " b/w " Memories". They then disbanded. In 2005, they tried to restart after doing a memorial show in memory of a member that passed, but due to failing health of some of the members, things fell apart again. Kamau Akiba, (formerly Henry " Smitty " Smith ), one of the original members went on to form The Acapella R&B/Soul Vocal Group Quiet Storm.
