Delegation is a British musical group formed in 1976 by Len Coley, Rick Bailey on lead vocals and Roddy Harris. The trio was soon discovered by music producer/songwriter, Ken Gold, who also wrote and produced the hits "You to Me Are Everything", and "Can't Get By Without You" for the Real Thing.

=============================
A sweet duo groover from Delegation -- easily the group's most obscure album, but also one of their best! The set's got loads of great keyboards and basslines -- much more electric than the mode used on the group's earlier records, but handled with a great deal of class -- never clunky at all, and instead a lean groove that really holds onto the funky soul of previous years! There's a classy air to the album -- as you might guess from the cover -- and the set easily rivals some of the best of the leaner 80s soul mode of the time -- and maybe even tops some of the best, too. A really great set overall -- with tracks that include "Gonna Bring The House Down", "Tell Her", "I Figure I'm Out Of Your Life", "What Took You So Long", and "No Words To Say". CD features bonus tracks -- "It's Your Turn (single mix)", "Can We Get It Back", "What Took You So Long (single mix)", "It's Your Turn (12" ext mix)", and "It's Your Turn (inst)".
