The Dells give a superb concert performance of their song "Stay in My Corner" at the Dell East Theater in Philadelphia, PA on a hot August night in 2000. From a Wade Cable production.
I must say that I had the pleasure of seeing this incredible group perform in Reading Pa back in 2001, I was blown away! I was mesmerized by Marvin when he started singing, I couldn’t get him out of my head. He was definitely the best baritone singer I ever had the pleasure to see perform. Rest well, you will forever be missed 😩😘😚
I first saw this extraordinary group as a teenager of 16 years old. It’s feb. 2020. I am 74 years old most are gone, and will never never be duplicated.
Marvin was one of the greatest, and most consistent baritone voices ever. He maintained his great voice throughout the Dells' 60 plus year career. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
The LOVE YOU HAD. That song does something to me it gives me a natural high off love. The you The Dells .I love you thank you for making me feel good 👍😊💯❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹❤️🥰🥰🙏🙏
Marvin Junior and Johnny Carter's voices were out of this world when they were younger but I can't leave. Chuck, Vern and Michael out because they are the Dell's too.What a close not bond they had.Rest in peace Johnny, Marvin and Chuck you served us well and we'll never forget you.
My uncle Johnny said before he passed, on August 2, 2009, he doesn't know why there's been no review of spotlight on his combined accomplishments on him a member of THREE groups that he sang professionally with: The Dells, The Flamingos (my grandmother named that group) and the group Dinah Washington assembled called "D's Gentlemen" ...
I saw the Dells in Atlantic City at Club Harlem and oh my God they were fantastic. I was sitting there the whole time saying they sound just like the record better than the 45 record an Amazing show. Love U Dells
Marvin Junior...a voice like nobody else on earth. I saw this show in Pittsburgh the same year. The Dells had an unmistakable sound that can't be copied. Johnny Carter was with the Flamingo's for years and sang falsetto lead on one of their earliest hits, "A Kiss From Your Lips" ! If you like 50's music, look it up and listen to it...he too was simply one of a kind. Add Verne Allison, Chuck Barksdale, and Michael McGill and you have the greatest doo-wop/ soul group there ever was and ever will be. Sure I liked them all, but these guys were incomparable ! Some say February 3, 1959, the music died...I say it was just starting. When Verne and Michael pass on, too me that will be the day that true soul music died !
Marvin Junior was not feeling well but he sang his heart out, rest easy Marvin Junior you will never be forgotten one of baddest baritone on earth, I love his vocals definitely miss him, my favorite guy, I listen to him all day errrrrr day. so gifted and talented brother...we miss you Marvin soooooooo much, rest well..
Betty Thompson Thanks Betty you just repeated my feelings towards this magnificent group. We both have excellent taste!! It seems like a whole era has passed save for a few there are not many good singers these days. My favorite will always be Whiter Shade of Pale.
THANK YOU carvcom1 for posting this wonderful video. My wife and I were at that event in Philadelphia and we followed them since the late 1960's. I wish that all groups were like the DELLS. Over 50 years all members stayed together. The true ambassadors of R&B, Soul, Rock and etc., since the death of the two lead singers Marvin Junior (05/29/2013) and Johnny Carter (08/21/2009) they will always be missed. We have a group called the Universal African Dance and Drum Ensemble and we use the MIGHTY DELL as one of our legendary role-models. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR OLD-SCHOOL LEGENDARY GROUPS who many of them are in their late 60's 70's and 80's. MUCH LOVE TO THE DELLS FOREVER. Brother Robert Dickerson
They give me the goosebumps every time I hear them songs..its those old love songs that "just wanted you to stay in your relationship" it was about love😥💗💗💗💗😲😲they don't make these like they used to.
As primarily a jazz guy, I finally figured out why I love this. Extraordinarily good vocals, out front horn section, bass I can decrypt, and hammer on drums with dead weight stops does it every time, baby!
FYI - Marvin Junior held his famous note for 23.08 seconds in 1972 on SOUL! and then again here (@4:54) for 21.7 seconds, roughly 30 years later at the age of 64 ... REST PEACEFULLY LEGEND
@Chris Schmitt I didn't know that there was a remake. Gonna scout around to see if I can find it . But it's really called a COVER of another singer song .Thanks for the information 😃 Take Care April 28,2023
Where the hell was I when they did this? I was living in Philly during this time period.. My wife and I were going to the Dell. Glad someone posted this.. Philadelphia loves the Dells!!!!
Awesome ❤ Can anybody answer this question out there......there was a group called The Originals. Are these the same cats from that group? They sang The Bells and I'm for real.
No the Originals were on Motown and those songs were produced by Marvin Gaye who structured the song in the Dells style . Rumor had it that he wrote those for the Dells but Motown didn't allow it.
Does anybody know if the Dell's song a song about: colors of the Rainbow: red & yellow etc. It was a slow jam from maybe late 60's or early 70's??? It was one of those songs you danced to in the basement parties. If it wasn't the Dell's who sang it & could you upload it to you-tube? Please???
