The Belles
Band,
R&B/Soul
Female vocal soul group who recorded the archetypal Northern Soul track 'Don't Pretend'. The 'official' band members were Sherlie Matthews, Debra Dion, Rose Mary Bailey and Patricia McElroy. The recordings were however undertaken by Sherlie Matthews, Brenda Holloway and her sister Patrice Holloway. The Holloway sisters could not sign a contract under their own names as Brenda was already signed to Motown. For recordings of a song associated with Mirwood titled "Let Me Do It", see The Belles (6)
