The Marmalade

The Marmalade (also Marmalade) is a pop rock band from Glasgow, Glasgow City, Scotland, United Kingdom, that was formed in 1961 under the name The Gaylords. In 1963, the band changed its name to [a=Dean Ford And The Gaylords], in 1966 to The Marmalade and finally, in 1973, to Marmalade.

With its tight harmonies well regarded in Scotland, the band earned a long residency at London's [l266223] beginning in March 1967. Its most successful period came between 1968 to 1972, when the band became the first Scottish act to land a #1 hit on the UK charts with 1969's cover of [a=The Beatles] '[i]Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da[/i]'. Original members began drifting away in early 1970's, the band evolved with many changes. With the departure of [a=Graham Knight] in September 2010, no original Marmalade members remained in the band, though they still exist touring the nostalgia circuit.
