Весь 1971 год группа потратила на гастроли и лишь летом 1972-го вернулась в студию, чтобы записать пластинку "You Are The Music... We're Just The Band". На этом альбоме, где в качестве гостей засветились клавишник Род Арджент и гитарист Би Джей Коул, коллектив добавил в свой музыкальный коктейль щедрую порцию соула, однако число хвалебных откликов от этого не уменьшилось. Положение команды резко ухудшилось в 1973-м, когда Хьюза сманили к себе "Deep purple". После некоторой заминки Гэлли и Холланд решили все же продолжить деятельность. В группу были рекрутированы Пит Райт (бас) и Роб Кендрик (гитара), а вокальные обязанности взял на себя Мел. Альбом "Hot wire", выпущенный новым составом на "Warner bros", вошел в американские чарты по номером 142.
Однако популярность команды стала неуклонно снижаться. В 1978-м в коллектив пришли Пит Голби и Питер Маки, но прилив свежих сил не пошел на пользу. На следующий год Холланд ушел в "Judas priest", и для "Trapeze" настали тяжелые времена. Группа еще немного пыталась попасть в колею, но после ухода Гэлли в "Whitesnake", ее существование оказалось бесполезным. Лишь на стыке 1991 и 1992 годов состоялся кратковременный реюнион, когда "Трапеция" собралась в своем классическом составе.
Review from All Music Guide:
Though they were best known for a kind of muscular funk rock, the band Trapeze always had a jazzy element, and on You Are the Music, We're Just the Band it is the softer tunes that stand out. This isn't to say that there aren't some good rockers here, since the title tune and "Keepin' Time" are energetic and enjoyable. However it is on "Coast to Coast" and "What Is a Woman's Role" that the band really shines. This is partly because both are really good songs, partly because both benefit from some inspired sax and vibes work from guests Jimmy Hastings and Frank Ricotti. Vocalist Glenn Hughes takes the lead on most tracks, and is very effective as long as he stays in his low range; on the rock tracks he uses his higher register, which tends to have a squealing or screechy tone. Those who only know Hughes from his subsequent work with Deep Purple may be surprised to hear his warm, soulful work on this disc, which was his last with Trapeze.
