Immaculate Fools did not make much of an impression in the US, but their unique blend of alternative rock, folk and Celtic music made an impression in the UK, landing Hearts of Fortune at #65 on the UK albums chart. They would find even greater success in Germany and Spain, and eventually moved to Spain themselves.
The band consisted of brothers Kevin Weatherill (vocals, guitar, bass, harmonica) and Paul Weatherill (bass, backing vocals, percussion), and brothers Andy Ross (guitar) and Peter Ross (drums). The Ross brothers could boast of the late Ronnie Ross, a popular saxophonist (Matt Bianco, The Beatles “Savoy Truffle,” and others) as their father. The band would become a college radio favorite and remained popular in Spain, and remained together until 1997.

The article I posted mentions the Ross brothers being in this band. Their father is Ronnie Ross, saxophonist who played on some hits back in the day ("Walk on the Wild Side", The Beatles "Savoy Truffle," etc.), and also did some soloing on Matt Bianco records over the years. He passed away before the Matt Bianco album from a decade ago was released, but they had some stray tracks he had recorded solos for, and reused them on Matt's Mood. ("Slip and Sliding", and "Ronnie's Samba" were both recorded in tribute to him, using his previously recorded solos.)
