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.

In which I told you to see me no more
There's really not much I have to say
So I think it's better to end it this way
If I knew how I'd make it through
(Make it through)
But I'm afraid it's up to you
There's not much more that I can do
I've always tried to comfort you
P.S.
Got one more thing to tell you
P.S.
There's one thing you should know
P.S.
Just one more thing to tell you
P.S.
That I still love you so
I'm writing you this letter
So I feel a little better
'Cause there's no use to go on
I know to you it doesn't matter
But I'm writing you this letter
So you'd feel that you were wrong
So I hope you understand
And if you'd give a helping hand
We'll still be going strong
So take care
And beware
You're not the only one

The lyrics of Dolly Dots's song P.S. reveal a complicated situation between two lovers. One of the lovers found a note at their door one morning telling them to see the writer no more. The writer feels as if they have nothing more to say and so they believe it's better to end the relationship this way. The writer acknowledges that they don't know how they will make it through this breakup, but they believe it's ultimately up to their partner to decide if they want to try and make things work. Despite the difficulties in the relationship, the writer still loves their partner and hopes that they can work things out.
These lyrics touch on the complicated feelings that come with a breakup. The writer acknowledges that they still love their partner and wants to make things work but feels as if there's nothing else they can do. However, they still hope that their partner will be willing to work things out. The writer's desire to convey this information through a letter shows that they want to express themselves in a way that they couldn't verbally. The use of the phrase "P.S" repeated throughout the song gives the impression that there is more to the story that the writer wants to say to their partner, but they feel restricted.

I must say this is one of my all time favorite band for sure. 70's & 80's are simply the best.

For a Europop group this sounds remarkably American-disco.
