Darling were a British band from the late 1970s, whose music was a mixture of new wave and pop music. The band's singer, Alice Spring, had been the vocalist of the band Slack Alice on their eponymously titled album of 1974, and had a career as pop singer Sandra Barry in the 1960s[1]. Drummer Paul Varley had been the percussionist and a founder member of the well-known band Arrows. Vocalist Alice Spring and bassist Mick Howard came from the 70's London RnB + Rock group Slack Alice.[2]

In 1979, Darling released their first and only album, Put It Down to Experience, with Charisma Records.[3]

After the album release, the band broke up. Only the guitarist, the until then unknown Hal Lindes, continued with a musical career of any note – first as a member of Dire Straits and more recently as a soundtrack composer for British television and American movies.[4]
