There's some legal issues between the 'original' members and the current members re: ownership of the name, etc.
Trademark tussle between singer's heirs and group called The Duprees | NJ.com
A lot of the groups from that era that have had lots of members seem to have these kind of problems, and will end up having NO original members in the performing group that legally is the only one that can use 'the name.'
There's a few classic rock groups that have the same problem; one in particular has no original members but the "owner" of the trademark who is an original member of the group "licenses" the trademarked band name to the group who tours using the band name.
