Setelah itu The Rollies merilis album Tiada Kusangka yang merupakan repackage atas lagu-lagu yang pernah mereka bawakan di album-album ketika Deddy Stanzah dan Iwan Krisnawan masih bergabung dalam The Rollies. Selanjutnya di era 1977-1979, The Rollies mendapat kontrak rekaman dari Musica Studio's. Ini bisa dianggap sukses kedua dalam perjalanan karier grup ini. Karena di era inilah The Rollies banyak menghasilkan hits seperti Sinar Yang Hilang (Wandi Kuswandi), Dansa Yok Dansa, dan Bimbi (Titiek Puspa), Hari Hari dan Kemarau (Oetje F Tekol), hingga Kau yang Kusayang (Antonius).
Di era ini di samping menggunakan nama New Rollies, Delly dan kawan-kawan mulai membuka diri dengan menyanyikan lagu-lagu karya komposer di luar The Rollies, misalnya A. Riyanto, Titiek Puspa, Johannes Purba, Antonius. Setelah The Rollies merilis album Keadilan (1977) Benny Likumahuwa mengundurkan diri dan lebih banyak berkutat di musik jazz. Posisinya lalu digantikan oleh Wawan Tagalos. Tengku Zulfian Iskandar Madian juga mengundurkan diri setelah merilis album Dansa Yok Dansa (1977), posisinya kemudian digantikan Pomo dari The Pro's.
Pada tahun 1979 The Rollies memperoleh penghargaan Kalpataru dari Menteri Lingkungan Hidup, Emil Salim, karena lagu Kemarau. Lagu yang dikarang oleh Oetje F Tekol, dianggap memuat misi dan pesan mengenai lingkungan hidup.

New Rollies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seirama senada hidupku
Ratap pilu serasa sayat sembilu
Luka di hati tergores duri
Membekas di sanubari
Harum bunga bertabur di taman indah
Nan mewangi setulus nafaskuBahagia tercipta tiada tercela
Sentuhan mesra membelai sukma
Melekat di lembah cinta
Oh kemarin waktu kita berperi
Oh kemarin saat kita berseri
Oh wo wo terasa tiada terperi
Jadilah pelita di hati
Sinar terang mentari di pagi ini
Mengganti dini yang sunyi sepi
Takkan lari semua cita di hati
Kan kusambut kan kupeluk
Dengan hati yang terbuka
Oh kemarin waktu kita berperi
Oh kemarin saat kita berseri
Oh wo wo terasa tiada terperi
Jadilah pelita di hati
