Founded in the UK in 1975 by Ricky Bailey, Delegation was a three-man group that saw frequent member changes, with Bailey being the only constant. The group gained recognition with hits like "Where Is the Love" and "Oh Honey," and released albums such as The Promise of Love and Eau de Vie. Despite lineup changes and label shifts, Delegation continued making music until the early '90s, with their influence seen in later works by artists like Coolio and the Ghetto Boys who sampled their songs.

Throughout their career, Delegation navigated various lineup alterations and label changes, with hits like "Oh Honey" propelling them to success in both the UK and the US. The group's resilience in the face of challenges kept their music alive, even as they shifted from Epic to Scorpio Records. Delegation's legacy endured through the sampling of their music by contemporary rap artists and the founding of Euro-Jam Records by Bailey and songwriter/producer Ken Gold to preserve and repackage Delegation's music.
