He landed his own solo recording contract with Capitol Records, and began getting singles on the charts.[1] "Your Love's Got a Hold on Me" was his first Top 20 R&B single in 1984, and Thomas enjoyed his biggest year in 1987 with three Top Ten R&B hits.[1] "I'm in Love" reached number two and remains his most successful single.[1] Thomas collaborated with Laurence on songs recorded by Freddie Jackson and Moore.[1]
