Touch The World also marked the debut of former Commodores guitarist Sheldon Reynolds to the lineup. The album ended a four-year hiatus for the band, with Maurice White reforming the group, bringing back longtime members Verdine White, Philip Bailey, Andrew Woolfolk and Ralph Johnson. As well Sonny Emory filled the drum chair vacated by Fred White.[1]
Off the album came a song written by an unknown composer by the name of Skylark entitled "System of Survival". When issued as a single, the song became a hit, going to number one on the Billboard R&B charts and Dance charts. System of Survival was also nominated for a Soul Train Award within the category of Best R&B/Soul Single – Group, Band or Duo.[1][10][11][9] Another single titled "Thinking Of You" got to Nos. 1 & 3 upon the Billboard Dance Club Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts respectively.[1][12][13]
