1984 proved their most succesful year, with a sell-out Twice Nightly tour, and their first Dutch chart-topping hit, Love Me Just A Little Bit More. A lot of merchandise was made, incl. the infamous Dolly Dots-dolls. In 1985, Anita left the band due to her pregnancy. In 1986 the Dots shot their Hollywood movie Dutch Treat, but it was not the smash hit they'd hoped for.
In 1987 the girls teamed up with producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman, in hope to crack the British charts. The song "What A Night" proved to be their last original single. The band split up in 1988. In 1993 a Disco remix of "Love Me Just A Little Bit More" was released to promote the Gold album, but the girls did not participate at all themselves. In 1998 all six girls gave a full concert again to promote their double CD The Collection and a R&B remix of What A Night.
In 2004 a musical featuring their best loved songs toured the Netherlands, but did not feature any of the members of the group. In 2007, the band reunited once more to perform during a concert series also featuring other Dutch bands. They also decided to give three (already) sold-out reunion concerts in May 2007. Angela, Ria and Anita were the only members of the band to release solo records, but none were as succesful as their joint efforts as the Dolly Dots. On July 20, 2009, Ria died of cancer. She was only 52 years old.
The Dolly Dots are still listed in the Dutch Guiness Book of Records as the longest running Dutch Girl Band.
Biggest hits: Love Me Just A Little Bit More, Radio, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, Hela-Di-ladi-Lo, PS, S.T.O.P., Don't Give Up, She's A Liar, Do You Wanna Wanna, Boys, Leila and All the Roses.

Dolly Dots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is Made In Heaven, Don't You Know.
They're Not So Wrong
Those Little Humans Down Below.
But Heavenley Bodies
Don't Always Have The Final Say .
'Cause It's Hard To Find,
That Certain Star
Chorus:
Little Angel Looking For A Star.
That Kinda Combination
Should Go Far.
Sooner Or Later - I Hope It's Soon
Run Rings Around The Moon.
Little Angel, Looking For A Star.
The Moon Is Really
Only Half Herself Tonight.
She Needs Someone
To Come And Share Her Silvery Light.
Well I Know That Feeling.
You Know The Feeling Too
Oh I Sure Could Use Some
Guiding Light
To Help Me Find My Way To You
Chorus
The song Little Angel by Dolly Dots tells the story of a person who is searching for love. They recognize that love is supposedly made in heaven, but they know that sometimes it can be difficult to find the right person even with the guidance of heavenly bodies. The lyrics mention how it's hard to find that certain star when it's a million miles away, meaning that finding the right person can feel like an impossible task.
The chorus is hopeful, with the little angel looking for a star and hoping that they will find someone who they can run rings around the moon with. The moon is described as needing someone to share her silvery light, which could symbolize the longing for companionship and love. The singer in the song also expresses that they know how it feels to need some guiding light to find their way to that special someone.
Overall, the lyrics of Little Angel convey the idea that love can be elusive but it's worth searching for. The imagery of searching for a star and running around the moon adds a whimsical and romantic quality to the song.

Zo leuk dit! Ik was 12 toen het album Thirst uitkwam en kan me nog herrineren dat ik deze special heb gekeken bij de Tros? Ik heb ook nog ergens een kopie van deze Barbados special. Helaas niet veel betere kwaliteit dan dit. Bedankt voor het uploaden.

Voor een Betamax versie ziet dit er prima uit hoor ;-)

Grappig, een liedje uit de tijd dat ze nog met zijn zessen waren, inclusief Anita. Bij deze opname met zijn vijven hoor je duidelijk ook Anita. Bij haar solo's zie je niemand playbacken maar zie je totaalshots van het schip
