- In 1986, The Fabulous Thunderbirds released the album, “Tuff Enuff.”  The single “Tuff Enuff,” “Wrap It Up” and “Look At That,” all soared to the top 40. “Tuff Enuff” was also featured in the film "Gung Ho" starring Michael Keaton.
- “Stand Back” and “Powerful Stuff” were featured on the cult classic 1980’s movie, Cocktail and both also did well on the pop charts. 
- Vaughn left the band in 1989 but Wilson kept the group going and incorporated keyboards into the guitar-driven sound of the band.
- Wilson moved back to California in 1996, continuing to cultivate the “T-Birds” music.  Wilson has a side project called Kim Wilson’s Blues Revue, a traditional blues band.  He also owns his own blues label, Blue Collar Music.
