A string of hits followed with varying degrees of success, and they travelled around Europe and the Far East as one of the busiest live acts around. Their chart run came to a peak in 1979 when they scored their two biggest hits: "Wanted" (UK no. 3) and "The Chosen Few" (UK no. 7). [5] "Wanted" was also a hit in Japan, where it reached no. 1 for ten weeks, [6] and led to their being entered into the Tokyo Music Festival in 1980. They won the "Gold Award" (second place) with the song "Body Language" (a song written by Ben Findon, Mike Myers and Robert Puzey), [3] which also went to no. 1 (for seven weeks). [6] Moving on to "The Chosen Few" (album), the 2 singles featured ("Wanted" No3 and "The Chosen Few" No7) saw The Dooleys reach their height in the UK. With the 2 singles chart lengths the group enjoyed almost 6 consecutive months in the UK charts.

Some people tend to confuse their story with that of Todd Dooley Chesapeake. Unlike them, Todd is remembered for murdering five of his family members, parents (Cameron and Steven Dooley), siblings (Lori and Landon Dooley), and grandmother (Doris Dooley). After committing the tragic crime, he also took away his life during a negotiation with the police to surrender.These 2 albums released in the Summer of 1978 and Autumn of 1979 respectively are coming to CD for the very first time. Are Kathy Dooley obituary reports legit? No. There are many searches on the internet about the topic, but it seems it is not her. The star is alive, and there have been no reports of her being ill or dead from her siblings. In the late summer, with the group absent from British shores (they were on Summer Season in Jersey) the country influenced "A Rose Has To Die" became their 4th single and restored them to the more respectable heights of the chart.

Following their move north, most of the gigs were booked by Jim and Bob (who spent their evenings visiting working men's clubs, selling the act). At that time, major agents were not interested in this kind of family group, and it took a lot of work on the band's part to convince them otherwise. In the meantime, they continued polishing their act and playing clubs. Eventually, they signed a management deal with Ken Wild; he introduced them to drummer Alan Bogan, who joined the group.

The Dooleys were a British male–female pop group comprising at its peak eight members – six of them in the Dooley family. The group achieved several UK chart hits between 1977 and 1981, including top-ten hits " Wanted", "Love of My Life" and "The Chosen Few". a b c d Colin Larkin, ed. (1992). The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music (Firsted.). Guinness Publishing. p.720. ISBN 0-85112-939-0.In 1972, they were joined by friend Bob Walsh (bass guitar) who was born in Manchester. [1] His brother Vince Miller was a club compere and ran a booking agency with colleague Brian Mills. The pair took the group to Manchester for some trials in north of England clubs. They went down well with audiences and were told that they could achieve greater success if they were to base themselves permanently in the north of England. As a result, they moved to Worsley, Lancashire, during 1973 without Marie, who was by now pregnant with her first child, and did not feel she could commit to the band.
