The Bells were a Canadian rock band active from 1965 to 1978, best known for their chart-topping single "Stay Awhile" in 1971. The band's style was mainly pop and easy listening, characterized by melodic hooks and harmonious vocals led by prominent members Cliff Edwards and Jacki Ralph. Despite their relatively short period of activity, The Bells' music had significant influence on the Canadian music scene, marking a transition towards softer, more melodic rock. Their most influential work remains their album "Fly Little White Dove, Fly", which solidified their place in Canadian music history.
