Dean Ford/Marmalde fans. There is a very active group on Facebook called "Marmalade Dean Ford - Singer/Songwriter", come over and join us in the fun! Dean Ford has just released a new song called "The Glasgow Road", you can also find that here on YT.
Marmalade what a Group this 60s Music style was always played at the local Ice Rink and we would chase the Birds around all day with our Mod Gear on Great Days Aye.
Falling Deeply for this great band ! Just discovering them :( 40 years too late ! Well I was a baby in their heyday..I'm huge Beatles fan..Their version of Ob La Di is fine imo. The Beatles will ALWAYS be best but every now and again a band does a great cover..they did one ! This a fun band. Dean Ford=FOXXXY
@Wigglingwench45 Same here! I was born in 1964 and too young to take it in consciously. I am rediscovering this stuff through my 13-year old daughter. These bands were very good...
Lead singer - Dean Ford; Lead guitar (lefty and upside down stringing!) - Junior Campbell; Drummer - Alan Whitehead; Bass - Graham Knight; Rhythm guitar and occasional 6-string bass - Pat Fairley.
They are from Scotland, and were originally known as Dean Ford and the Gaylords.
tubbychubby1 - you asked for any info - they have a facebook page, look for "Marmalade - Dean Ford".
Me personally, I think their harmonies are as good as The Beatles/Hollies/Bee Gees! :-)
i was only 17 back then walked into "The Ranch House" where my old mate Seth Davey was working heard this for the first time on the radio, first time I heard Marmalade stayed a fan for life
Strangely enough, I don't remember this song, although I do remember Marmalade very well, and "Rainbow" has long been a favourite of mine. Listening to this song now, as if for the first time, I can't get over how much it sounds like the Hollies, another great British group from the sixties and seventies, especially the lead singer (Junior Campbell?). But I kept waiting for harmonies, knowing how excellent some of theirs were. Definitely an underrated group.
How clearly I remember buying this single. 40 years on, what a truly fantastic example this is of the perfect pop song.If the great Deity in the heavens grants me immortality, I'll still be listening to this in another 40 years!
Never heard of this band until today. I don't think they ever made it in the US, although it was a little before my time. This is an excellent single. Sounds great.
Great song and just beginning to realise what a great group they were. Love the Beatles, but why did Marmalade have to record Ob La Di. Must have lived to regret that, although it probably made them a few quid...
( at the end of 1967 ) of rejecting `Everlasting Love` as they said it was too pop orientated . It was then recorded by Love Affair and hit #1 in the UK early in 1968. Then later in 1968 they recorded Ob La Di !!
It got to No. 30 in the UK charts, entering the charts on 23 October 1968 and remained in the charts for 5 weeks. I always thought it had done better. A great 60s pop song!
What I really like songs from the late sixties & early seventies are the brass arrangement and this is a classic...a class on its own. Love it till this day. Marmalade wherever you are keep rockin'.

Marmalade had made the earlier mistake
( at the end of 1967 ) of rejecting `Everlasting Love` as they said it was too pop orientated . It was then recorded by Love Affair and hit #1 in the UK early in 1968. Then later in 1968 they recorded Ob La Di !!
