She later joined the folk group The Loved Ones (later known as Laurel Canyon), where she had remained until being discovered by NYC taxi driver Tim Hauser at a party. Hauser, who had been looking to get back into four-part harmony singing after his group the Manhattan Transfer broke up, had asked her to help out on some demos, after which she agreed to join what would eventually become the second incarnation of the Manhattan Transfer. It was during this time that she won ten Grammy as part of the group, as well as a Grammy nomination for her second solo album, At Home.
