The Delfonics were a Philly soul vocal group active from the late 60's until the mid 70's. They are considered one of the first "silky and sweet" soul groups, known for their soft and lush male vocal harmonies. Their biggest hits, including "La-La (Means I Love You)" and "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)", have been heavily sampled by hip hop artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Boyz II Men, Missy Elliott, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Led by William Hart as songwriter and lead vocalist, their music was written by the legendary Philadelphia team Stan & Bell aka Thom Bell and Stan Watson.

In the mid-80s, the main recording lineup of The Delfonics consisted of William Hart, Major Harris, and Frank Washington. However, they would often tour as two separate trios with additional members added to the lineup. Some of these members included Garfield Fleming, Freddie Ingleton, Johnny ("JJ") Johnson, Pat Palmer, Dr. Sallam Love, Eban Brown,and Johnney Smalls.

The Delfonics were a trio consisting of brothers William Hart, Wilbert Hart, and Randy Cain and had lush, high-pitched, male vocal harmonies typical of the Philly Soul sound. The trio’s debut album was produced by Thom Bell, who had begun working with Philadelphia musicians later known as MFSB. Bell was responsible for co-writing, co-producing (with Stan Watson) and arranging the number four US Billboard pop hit in 1968; “La-La-Means I Love You”, “I’m Sorry” and “Break Your Promise”. Also included are the two Burt Bacharach &amp; Hal David classic songs “Alfie” and the “Look Of Love” plus the cover “Hurt So Bad” which surpasses the original version by Little Anthony &amp; The Imperials.
