Belle & the Devotions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belle and the Devotions was a UK pop music group, ostensibly a group name for the singer Kit Rolfe. Under this name she released the single Where did love go wrong? in 1983.
In 1984, other members were added to the group in order to participate in the UK heats of the Eurovision Song Contest. Love games, written by Paul Curtis and Graham Sacher proved to be an easy winner and represented the UK at the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest in Luxembourg. Sadly, the actions of English football fans in the tiny state caused something of a backlash against Belle and the Devotions. They were booed off stage by the audience. Love games finished in seventh place and reached number 11 in the UK charts.
Kit Rolfe had been involved in Eurovision before, as a backing singer for Sweet Dreams in Munich in 1983. She performed the same task for Samantha Janus in 1991, teaming up with Hazell Dean to provide sturdy support in Rome.
