In Love's Time (The Delegation Story 1976-1983)
Delegation were a British funk and soul group who thrived in the late 1970s and early 1980s, bridging American soul and European disco sensibilities. Heartache No. 9 and Where Is The Love were genuine hits combining tight horn arrangements, infectious grooves, and sincere vocals over polished production. This 2017 Big Break Records compilation gathers their best extended versions and rare tracks, giving the music breathing room to swing. Their sound sits perfectly between the Stylistics' silky sophistication and contemporary funk energy. The production is immaculate—crisp drums, punchy strings, and warm vocals. If you loved late-70s soul-funk crossovers, Delegation deserves discovery.
