    The Dells... I miss them

    From Soul Train, I Miss You, one of the best of their 70s tunes. Good to see Johnny Carter 'in the line' making those moves.

    Oh yes, yes ,yes! This is a classic, underrated song by the Dells! I found it on a jukebox a few months ago while in Toledo, OH and played it. Everyone seemed to remember it. I certainly did.

    Without the [[late) Junior Marvin, we would've never had Teddy and without the Dells in general, a lot of the groups wouldn't have been inspired to do what they did...

    A wonderful group; I love the "swapped" vocals. "The Love We Had ..." is perhaps my ultimate "45". We need more Dells CD re-releases.

    We also have to thank 'em for not signing with PIR! Otherwise, we really wouldn't have Teddy.

    Frankly, I miss groups in general! In the R&B world they've seemed to have become a thing of the past. I'd settle for a B2K knock off at this point.

    I believe its Marvin Junior, no harm though.

    So many later soul groups were inspired by The Dells. I think my favorites of their long career were the late 60s material on Cadet like Nadine, their own remakes of Stay In My Corner and Oh What A Night.

    This previously unissued[[!) VeeJay recording from the mid 50s was ahead of its time and foretold their greatness. [[finally made it to vinyl 45 in the 90s I think--not too hard to find, and a precious artifact of soul music history)
