    Been toying with this problem, without success.

    Are you talking the popular '60s beat combo, The Marmalade?





    .

    That was the Norfolk Born Tribute post.

    Come back NB, if you're lurking!
    Not the band though that was an excellent single.

                        I suggest you look at the Dvorak first!

                              So the answer appears to be "Bells":

                              Dvořák: Symphony No. 1: "The Bells of Zlonice"

                              A. Emmett Adams: "The Bells of St. Mary's"

                              ?? "Lady Marmalade" recorded by Labelle ???
