  • The Delfonics are a pioneering Philadelphia soul singing group, 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 songs are written by lead vocalist and founder William Hart and have been used extensively in numerous film soundtracks, the most notable being Quentin Tarantino's movie Jackie Brown, in which their music ("La-La " and "Didn't I Blow Your Mind") is used as a pivotal part of the plot to underscore the relationship between Pam Grier and Robert Forster. The film helped create a border-line cult following for the songs and this group. Their songs have been sampled extensively by various hip-hop and rap artists including: The Fugees,The Notorious B.I.G. , Nas, Boyz II Men, Missy Elliott and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. These William Hart songs have been covered by numerous other performers, including Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5, Patti LaBelle, New Kids on the Block, Todd Rundgren, Prince, Swing Out Sister and The Manhattan Transfer, among others.

  • The Delfonics je americká philadelphiská hudební skupina, která byla průkopníkem Philly soulové hudby. Největší popularity se těšila v pozdějších šedesátých letech. Měla významné hity jako "La-La (Means I Love You)", "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" či "Ready or Not Here I Come". Většina písní napsal frontman a vrchní skladatel kapely, William Hart. Mezi některé bývalé hudebníky této skupiny patří např Eban Brown, Major Harris či Pat Palmer. Jejich písně se se objevily například ve filmu Q. Tarantina Jackie Brownová. Písně jako "Didn't I Blow Your Mind" hrály ústřední roli, mezi vztahy R. Forstera a Pam Grierové. Některé písně, které William Hart napsal byli coverovány umělci jako The Jakson 5, Patti LaBelle, Prince, Swing Out Sister, Manhattan Transfer či New Kids on the Block. Další písně se staly "obětí" samplingu umělců jako The Notorious B.I.G. , Boyz II Men, Missy Elliott či DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince.
