Sulton joined Utopia in 1976, when the group settled into its most recognizable quartet of Todd Rundgren (guitar, vocals), Kasim Sulton (bass, vocals), Roger Powell (keyboards, vocals), and Willie Wilcox (drums, vocals). All four band members wrote, sang, produced, and engineered the material on their critically acclaimed albums. Sulton wrote and sang lead on Utopias biggest hit, Set Me Free, from their best-selling album Adventures in Utopia (1980), which reached #27 on the Billboard Top 40 charts.
