The Dooleys were a United Kingdom male--female pop group comprising eight members — six of them family members — at their peak. They achieved several UK chart hits between 1977 and 1981 including top-ten hits "Wanted", "Love of My Life" and "The Chosen Few".

The group began in the late 1960s as "The Dooley Family", composed of brothers Jim (vocals), John (guitar and vocals) and Frank (guitar and vocals) with sisters Marie, Anne & Kathy (all vocals). Based in Ilford, Essex, the group's work was mostly limited to theatres and hotels because the three youngest members were still at school and therefore not allowed to perform in pubs. They appeared in variety shows alongside popular entertainers such as Bob Monkhouse, Frankie Howerd, Norman Collier and Anne Shelton.

This group deserved more recognition than it received.  Too bad they never did an American tour.

They look like Brotherhood of Man in this clip. The woman in the bumble bee dress is very attractive. Why is the drummer wearing a butcher's hat?

Had the privilege to host this group on an Army camp in 1987. Truly professional entertainers. It shows through when you are next to their performance stage.
