The Belle Stars - A Profile of the '80s Pop Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05) |
 | | Listening to the music of the Belle Stars today brings to mind bands which came along later, such as the more successful Bananarama and Spice Girls; however, the Belle Stars were an actual band, playing their own instruments and writing original songs, although their biggest hits would come from cover versions of other artists' tunes. |
| | The Belle Stars next release, generally considered to be their finest self-penned tune, was "Sign of the Times." In a short career that boasted few true high points, "Sign of the Times" is the Belle Stars running on all cylinders, evoking a good time through the band's own evident enjoyment of playing the song. |
| | The Belle Stars were an active live act as well, headlining a few shows, but more often seen in support of various '80s icons including Madness, the Clash, the Police, the Beat, the Pretenders and Elvis Costello. |
