Anyway last week I read at-the-time review of Patrice Rushen’s second album that complained she had forever ruined the artistic potential shown on her first, a year earlier, by selling out and taking malign influence from the novelty of Head Hunters

Genesis were steered by their first manager to make straightforward pop music for their first album. They hit their prog rock stride afterwards.
The debut albums of Jethro Tull & Led Zeppelin are both blues rock albums, I guess both of them became the legends they are with the more signature style work which followed.
Bowie's early work sounds like it's part of a stand-up comedian's repertoire. He kept hitting it big with many novelties afterwards.

Bobby McFerrin. My college roommate from 1986 was a big fan of his highly original all-vocal but hardly a cappella (in the conventional sense) jazz pieces, and convinced me to catch his show, then touring on the Spontaneous Inventions album, both qhich were quite impressive. But his next album from a year later had that song on it, and his career never really recovered.

Bobby McFerrin's album with Chick Corea is great and shows off his jazziness well

Landscape were a fairly standard jazz-funk band, they discovered synths and then came ‘Einstein a Go-Go'.

The Bee Gees suggestion is completely wrong. Multiple massive hits across four decades, one of the biggest selling bands of all time etc.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3w8I8boc_I

would also argue against their disco era as being "novelty", it was absolutely in line with their natural artistic development, they were always huge R&B afficionados
