After King retired in 1981, the five members decided to form a band . </P> <P> The group's members were originally part of country pop singer Don King's road band . When King stopped touring in 1981, the group decided to stay together . The band played up to five sets a night, six days a week, until they auditioned for the TV show Star Search in 1983 . They auditioned just to get the videotape to promote the band, yet ended up winning the $100,000 grand prize and record contract . </P> <P> The band originally chose the name Savanna . When another band with a similar name emerged, the group decided to change its own moniker . They met at their manager's office in Nashville and began looking through area telephone books for inspiration . They blindly landed on the name of a nearby thoroughfare, Sawyer Brown Road, and derived the new band name "Sawyer Brown". </P> <P> The band signed with Capitol Records (in a joint partnership with Curb Records) and scored a Top 20 hit with their first single, "Leona", in 1984 . That success was quickly followed by their first No. 1 hit, "Step That Step". The band had their ups and downs on the charts throughout the 1980s, landing only sporadic Top 10 hits . However, by 1990 they had accumulated enough hits for a Greatest Hits package, and were successful on the touring circuit . </P>
