Mitchell also wasn't destined to last long with the group and he was replaced by Pat McGlynn, whose time with Rollers was also short-lived. But the stress of success took its toll on bassist, Alan Longmuir and he quit the band in 1976 and was replaced by 17-year-old cutie, Ian Mitchell. Another hit song, Money Honey reached #9 on the charts and the boys seemed unstoppable. The group hit #1 on the Billboard charts with S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night, which just a few years before had completely failed to chart in the UK.
After having major success in the UK, executives at Arista Records thought these guys had a chance to make it big in the US.
