The Chosen Few is a 1979 album by British pop group The Dooleys.

The album contains the singles "Chosen Few" and "Wanted" - both of which were top 10 hits. "Wanted" had already appeared on the group's previous album, The Best of The Dooleys, but appeared here in a slightly extended version. Current single "Chosen Few" reached No.7 in the UK Charts, after previous single had reached No.3 and album No.6, making this the peak of the group's career.[1] This album however only managed to reach No.56, although that was an improvement on the group's previous studio album, which missed the charts completely in 1978.[2]

Track "One Kiss Away" had been previously recorded by Billy Ocean (who also co-wrote it under his real name, Les Charles), while "Growing Pains" had been recorded by Guys 'n' Dolls in 1977.[3]

The Chosen Few was released on Compact disc for the first time on 14 September 2009 in a double-pack with their debut album, Dooleys.[4]
