Success
It was not until 1987, however, when Dykes signed a recording contract with Columbia, that the band would succeed. That year saw the release of Hard Times in the Land of Plenty, that went on to sell in excess of 500,000 copies. The band now consisted of Dykes singing and playing the guitar, Bruce Jones on bass and Gene Brandon on drums.
Since then, Omar & the Howlers has released around twenty successful albums, both for Columbia and Provogue Records, as well as their current record label, Ruf Records.

Famous quotes containing the word success:
“One general builds his success on ten thousand bleaching bones.”
—Chinese proverb.
“High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
To that bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
His proud imaginations”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Success is the space one occupies in the newspaper. Success is one day’s insolence.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
