Only the rain - Dolly Dots

Angela Groothuizen, Angéla Kramers, Anita Heilker, Esther Oosterbeek, Patty Zomer and Ria Brieffies were brought together by a producer who had witnessed the success of Luv', and thought he could improve on the formula by putting six instead of three women on stage. In a way, he was right, although artistically it didn't really get any better.

'Only the rain' was released at a time when the band was still going strong in 1985. The single was released in a limited edition pressed on white vinyl, which became the main reason for me to buy it - albeit seven years later. The single peaked at number 13 in the Dutch Top 40.
