The Dells - The Dells

Review by Natália Casado

The album "The Dells" by Dells is a classic soul masterpiece that showcases the incredible vocal talents of this legendary group. From the first track to the last, the album is filled with powerful and emotional performances that will leave listeners spellbound.

The group's harmonies are particularly impressive, with each member contributing their unique voice to create a rich and full sound that is both timeless and contemporary. The songs range from upbeat and funky to slow and soulful, with each one showcasing the group's versatility and range.

Standout tracks include "Stay in My Corner", a haunting ballad that showcases the group's ability to convey deep emotion through their vocals, and "Oh What a Night", a lively and infectious tune that will have listeners tapping their toes and singing along.

"DELLS' MONTH"
Following the Success of their smash hit single "GIVE YOUR BABY A STANDING OVATION", the month of June has been proclaimed "DELLS' MONTH".
Soon to be released, in conjunction with the special promotion, is the group's new album which will include the hit single and bear its title.
In addition, there will be a white jacketed promotion album of the Dells' greatest hits which is to be sent out for radio programing purposes only. Total effort on your part, in store play as well as air promotion, guarantees this to be a successful project.
The album will contain such hits as:

Check out the remake done in 81, Junior holds that note for a full 30 seconds.

cqmhirad 2023-04-11

Wow! Wow! Wow! One of the finest live performances I've ever heard! And that forever-extended note by Marvin Junior is an experience in itself. Wow!

I listened to the Dells way back in Germany and absolutely loved them. Amazing voices, especially the lead singer how he hold his tones. That was powerful soul music.

It is 2022 and this group brings tears to my eyes because they were my father's favorite and they became my favorite after I discovered an old tape that my father had made. Marvin Junior and Johnny Carter/two of the greatest singers in the world. May they rest in peace and power. We don't have voices like this any more, thank God for the technology that allows us to listen to these gifted musicians.

The older I get the more I love the classics. The lyrics can never be replaced with imitation robots! The neo soul is a good copy.

lider051190 2023-03-30
