Not that the group didn't diversify; their third album, Black Seeds, was named for lead singer McPherson's funky African-inspired political statement, "Black Seeds Keep on Growing." Sadly, though, McPherson didn't live long enough to see the release of the album. Leukemia had claimed his life just days before his 30th birthday. Silvester and Simmons recruited another friend from the old neighborhood who had first stepped in to sing while McPherson was ill: Cuba Gooding. The younger singer couldn't have been more different than his predecessor, possessing a rough, husky voice rather than a high, ethereal one. The title of The Main Ingredient's fourth album was a truthful one: Bitter Sweet. The sweet soul sound would continue, but the group had been forever changed.
