Still Pleasing After All These Years

The Dells have been singing together for 55 years (the last 47 years with the same members) and they still sound great! Lead singer Marvin Junior's whiskey soaked pipes continue to captivate while the rest of the group (Verne Allison, Chuck Barksdale, Johnnie Carter and Michael McGill) show the youngsters what real harmonizing is.

This entertaining dvd includes such Dells classics as There Is, The Love We Had Stays on My Mind, Oh What a Night, Always Together, Give Your Baby a Standing Ovation, A Heart Is a House for Love, and Stay in My Corner.

"The Dells happens to be one of my all times favorite true R&B group. Being this is their first DVD I was very disappointed in the poor quality in making it.The singings was somewhat liking but you have to remember these men are well up in age.If you are a true Dells fan then you will enjoy seeing them perform such songs as STAY IN MY CORNER,which allways a croud pleaser."

"There are no extras. Just the concert. But, what a concert? The Dells in all there glory. Singing all the songs you're looking for. What a wonderful way to spend an hour. There's A Heart In The House Tonight."

"Its about time older groups like the Dells put out Concert material for their fans so that a video legacy can be had by the fans. It wasn't the best concert DVD but for anyone who is a fan of the groups it is well worth buying. The very first LP I ever purchaced as a child was by the Dells and they quickly and have always been my favorite group. Lacking was any video of TV appearances or concerts. This DVD fills the void. A better performance and DVD release would be from a show in the late 60's or early 70's called "Soul". Its was a PBS series hosted by Ellis Haislip that ran for several years and featured hour long Studio Concerts of such performers as the Dells, Delfonics, Moments, Al Green etc....Of course this was footage of these artist in their Prime. But this DVD concert fills a void for me for I now have the MIGHTY MIGHTY DELLS IN CONCERT!"
