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.
We Believe In Love
Dolly Dots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe there's love enough to share
There's no need for sadness while we're living
There's a need to love and need to care
We believe that love is there for giving
We believe there's love enough to share
There's no need for sadness while we're living
Give your heart away to some-one else
And make a friend, you know you can
(You know that you can do it)
Just in giving love away
You'll get it back again
There'll be no end
We believe that love is there for giving
We believe there's love enough to share
There's no need for sadness while we're living
There's a need to love and need to care
Open up your eyes and look around you
Open up your life before it ends
There's no time to waste on being lonely
Give yourself to some-one and be friends
Give your heart away to some-one else
And make a friend, you know you can
(You know that you can do it)
Just in giving love away
You'll get it back again
There'll be no end
We believe that love is there for giving
We believe there's love enough to share
There's no need for sadness while we're living
There's a need to love and need to care
We believe that love is there for giving
We believe there's love enough to share
There's no need for sadness while we're living
There's a need to love and need to care

Blijft een mooi nummer. Maar de beginmelodie lijkt wel erg op I Don't Know How To Love Him, van Yvonne Elliman. En op 1:00 is er ook goed geluisterd naar El Condor Pasa van Simon & Garfunkel ;-)
