Delegation was a soul trio that formed in 1979. They released several albums in the early 1980s, including 'Delegation' in 1980 and 'Heartache No. 9' in 1981. Their song 'Darlin' (I Think About You)' became one of their better-known tracks.
Their music often dealt with emotional themes. The song 'Heartache No. 9' addressed domestic violence, which sparked some discussion at the time. Other songs like 'You and I' and 'Put a Little Love On Me' showed their focus on relationships and romance.
They recorded for Atlantic Records. The trio consisted of Shola Ama on lead vocals with Angie Brown and June Miles-Kingston providing backing vocals. All three members contributed to songwriting.
Their sound blended soul with pop elements, heard in tracks like 'Stand Up Reach For The Sky'. They worked during a period when female vocal groups faced particular challenges in the industry.
