So, yeah, another one of those rare musical second acts where a long-gone group gets to build a brand-new legacy… #TheBelleStars #OneHitWondered
The Belle Stars
The Belle Stars did not crash so much as fragment… The hits tailed off, the original seven-member lineup came apart in 1984… a three-piece version tried to soldier on… but by 1986, they were finished as an active band. #TheBelleStars #OneHitWondered
In the early '80s, The Belle Stars were UK chart regulars. 1983’s "Sign of the Times," which peaked at #3 in the UK, topped out at #75 in the US. They were famous for their enthusiastic live shows & brassy, infectious sound. #TheBelleStars #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
The Belle Stars emerged in 1980 from the wreckage of the 2 Tone ska group, The Bodysnatchers. They blended ska, pop, some new wave with dance rhythms & a lil’ chaos to create a fun, playful sound. #TheBelleStars #OneHitWondered
The week ending April 1, 1989, the all-female British pop group The Belle Stars earned US #OneHitWonder honors when the reissue of their new wave/pop cover of “Iko Iko” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #40. The single spent 10 weeks on the chart, peaking at #14. #TheBelleStars #OneHitWondered
Happy anniversary to The Belle Stars single, “Sign Of The Times”. Released this week in 1982. #thebellestars #signofthetimes

Voici 43 ans dans BEST GBD succombait au chant de ces sirènes de la pop British, belles, donc forcément stars. Avant les Gogo’s, avant les Bangles ces Belle Stars incarnaient ces pop girl’s band accroche-cœurs avec ce je ne sais quoi de punkitude chic.
