They'd all been into soul music, and the remaining members regrouped, got a new singer and a new style, and did pretty well for a few years.
Goddard floundered without his mates, and went all rockabilly. He did sort of reform the band later, and they've drifted around ever since, with various line-ups. Most of the JoBoxer guys have gone on to have good careers in music, without ever really hitting the big time.
