Belle and the Devotions were a British pop group, ostensibly a group named after the singer Kit Rolfe. Under this name, she released the singles "Where Did Love Go Wrong?" and "Got to Let You Know" in 1983. In 1984, two other members, Laura James and Linda Sofield, were added to the group in order to participate in the UK heats of the Eurovision Song Contest, A Song for Europe in 1984. "Love Games", written by Paul Curtis and Graham Sacher, proved to be an easy winner, and represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 in Luxembourg.

  • Belle and the Devotions war ein kurzlebiges britisches Mädchentrio. Die Mitglieder waren die Sängerinnen Kit Rolfe, Laura James und Linda Sofield. Als Gewinner der britischen Vorauswahl durfte die Gruppe ihr Land beim Concours Eurovision de la Chanson 1984 in Luxemburg vertreten. Mit dem Sixties-Popsong Love Games erreichten sie Platz sieben, in den UK-Charts ging die Single auf Platz elf. Nach einer zweiten, wenig erfolgreichen Single löste sich die Gruppe auf. (de)

Dit jaar stond zij op het voorplan met het lied Love Games, ze viel op door haar flashy groene outfit en haar witte haren met groene stukken in. The Devotions oftewel Laura James en Linda Sofield waren al even flashy verkleed. Ze eindigden op de zevende plaats. Verenigd Koninkrijk op het Eurovisiesongfestival (nl)

  • Belle and the Devotions were a British pop group, ostensibly a group named after the singer Kit Rolfe. Under this name, she released the singles "Where Did Love Go Wrong?" and "Got to Let You Know" in 1983. In 1984, two other members, Laura James and Linda Sofield, were added to the group in order to participate in the UK heats of the Eurovision Song Contest, A Song for Europe in 1984. "Love Games", written by Paul Curtis and Graham Sacher, proved to be an easy winner, and represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 in Luxembourg. According to John Kennedy O'Connor's The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official History, the actions of English football fans in the tiny state the previous autumn caused something of a backlash against the British delegation. They were booed by some of the audience. It emerged during rehearsals that a backing trio, hidden off-camera, were doing the majority of the backing singing, while the microphones of Sofeld and James were not even switched on. "Love Games" finished in seventh place, and reached #11 in the UK Singles Chart. The group followed up this single with "All the Way Up", released in July 1984. It failed to chart and the threesome split up soon after. Kit Rolfe had been involved in Eurovision before, as a backing singer for Sweet Dreams in Munich in 1983, when she herself was hidden off-camera. She performed the same task for Samantha Janus in 1991, teaming up with Hazell Dean to provide backing vocals in Rome. Rolfe also later recorded a single with Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, "Fly Eddie Fly". The song was not a hit. (en)
