ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The Dells

The Dells began in Harvey, Illinois, as a high school vocal group originally called the El-Rays. Their harmony style grew from street-corner singing into a recording career spanning several decades. Contrasting lead voices, including Marvin Junior's baritone and Johnny Carter's tenor, became part of their recognized sound. Repertoire such as Oh, What a Night and Stay in My Corner established an enduring identity, while later releases including Reminiscing continued the group's work in soul vocal harmony.
