The group split around 1975; one group featured Major Harris and Wilbert Hart, with new member Frank Washington, formerly of the Futures. The other group featured William Hart with new members. Line-ups would become confusing as members shifted between groups and multiple groups toured.<ref>{{cite web |title=Group Split The Delfonics History|url=https://mentalitch.com/introduction-to-the-delfonics/|website=Mentalitch.com|date=January 16, 2015 |access-date=July 7, 2020}}</ref> Major Harris moved to William's group around 1980, with their third member being the returning Randy Cain. Frank Washington also switched from Wilbert Hart's group, joining in 1985. While the main recording line-up of the group was William Hart, Major Harris, and Frank Washington, they would tour as two separate trios with additional members added. One group featured William Hart, Randy Cain, and Garfield Fleming, and the other consisted of Frank Washington, Major Harris, and Freddy Ingleton. William Hart also toured with another line-up consisting of himself, Johnny ("JJ") Johnson and Pat Palmer,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://faac.us/adf/messages/136955/140404.html?1175465336|title=Soulful Detroit: The Delfonics|publisher=Faac.us|access-date=2012-11-14|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208135339/http://faac.us/adf/messages/136955/140404.html?1175465336|archive-date=2012-02-08 }}</ref> and toured in Japan at least one time with Ingleton and Dr. Salaam Love.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://music8.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/randb/1116769553/l50|title=The Delfonics|website=Music8.5ch.net|access-date=July 1, 2021}}</ref> In 1989, Wilbert Hart, Major Harris and Frank Washington appeared on ''[[The Arsenio Hall Show]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2550424/|title="The Arsenio Hall Show" Episode #1.57 (TV Episode 1989)|website=IMDb.com|access-date=July 1, 2021}}</ref>
