About
Marmalade is one of those groups that just seem to endure. In the U.K., they are best remembered for one record, a cover of the Beatles’ “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” while in America, their sole major hit was the wistful “Reflections of My Life” .

They charted number one records and even Top Ten American singles into the ’70s, and the group — especially with in early-’70s incarnation — had many sides, including white soul, harmony-dominated pop/rock, and progressive pop, all very much like the Beatles in their middle years. However, it was their cover of a Beatles song, oddly enough, that weighed down their reputation in their homeland.
