Exile can most notably be remembered among rock fans for their one-hit wonder of 1978 "Kiss You All Over." It was in the early 80's when the Kentucky native band took a different path and started to focus on country music. In the year of 1977 a deal was made with Atco and Exile was able to land their first chart entry with the hit "Try It On."
In 1980, after having returned to Kentucky, Exile picked up a new lead singer. With a fresh vocalist Exile revamped their music style to become more of a country band. By this time, Exile had signed with Epic and had produced the first Top 40 hit on the country charts with "High Cost of Leaving."
Through the years Exile landed more top charting hits including "Woke Me Up in Love," "Give Me One More Chance," Crazy for Your Love," and "I Can't Get Close Enough." By 1990, Exile had their final Top Ten hits with "Nobody's Talking" and "Yet," and in 1993 the group split. In 1996, former members J.P. Penning and Les Taylor joined together to tour with a new Exile lineup.
