A 1970s pop group best known for the 1979 single 'Love Takes Time'.
For a quick sense of Dana, just put on 'Love Takes Time.' If you want something less familiar, try 'Te-Am Cautat' from their later work.
Dana's music holds up because of that soft rock sound anchored by Jackie McAuley's vocals. 'Love Takes Time' became their signature, a song that still turns up in films and gets covered now and then. It's the kind of track that defines a band's moment, even if they never quite topped it.
They formed in 1970 and put out songs like 'Please Tell Him That I Said Hello' before hitting with 'Love Takes Time' in 1979. The lineup shifted over the years, with Stewart leaving in 1982 and Holles later, while McAuley stayed through. By the mid-1980s, their run had mostly wound down.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
