The Delfonics
La-La Means I Love You (1968)
The Delfonics were an American R&B/soul vocal group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Delfonics were most popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their most notable hits include "La-La (Means I Love You)", "Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)", "Break Your Promise", "I’m Sorry", and "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can’t Hide from Love)". Their hit songs were primarily written by lead vocalist and founding member William "Poogie" Hart, and arranger and producer Thom Bell. Wilbert Hart is the last surviving member.
Their songs have been used in film soundtracks, including Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 movie Jackie Brown, in which "La-La (Means I Love You)" and "Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" underscore the pivotal relationship between the characters played by Pam Grier and Robert Forster. Their songs "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can’t Hide from Love)" and "Funny Feeling" were used in the video game Grand Theft Auto V on the fictional radio station The Lowdown 91.1.
