Damn sure do with that slow hard grinding going on!!! LOL!!!!
You bet I do..........
p full I
P FULL..WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH, THESE TIMES ARE MISSED BY ME, AND SO MANY OTHER'S..
I am James F Jr... The Love we had Stays on my Mind. One of the most Romantic and Beautiful Songs ever Stay in my Corner. Oh my goodness if you were any kind of Man this Song would get you hooked up and in for the Night. I am a Hopeless Romantic. So this Song I would still play for my Girl today. Thank you Dells. I Play this song again, and Again. Tears came to my eyes. Because of the Female I had a crush on. Don't go for the Girl You Love. Go for the Girl who Loves You !!! Peace, God Bless You.
Pure gold no lead. No copper. Just gold.
The Dells and the Dramatics need to be given more respect and acknowledgement. The instruments played by the band and the vocals is amazing. The best group that ever existed in the music business. ❤❤❤
I’ve got a playlist called Testify, and the Dells- Live we had, is right before Dramatics - it ain’t raining.
The DRAMATICS which is one of my favorite groups. LOVE YOU BOTH, DRAMATICS & THE DELLS!!!
You missed the Motown era, huh??
@Noco235
Motown was a huge success. The acts from other production teams like Gamble and Huff, Solar, STAX, etc.. were not given the same respect due to their music not crossing over to pop culture.
You are so right..... this is our music....basic r&b❤😊@@SS-ii6nz
The GREATEST and most underrated group in the history of the WORLD!!!
MARVIN and the almighty DELLS (Harvey Illinois' very own).
Yes, I lived next door y them when I bought my house in Harvey Illinois
Yes, I bought a house right down from where they lived and rehearsed. My very first home purchase and I lived there for years.
A Great Group for sure. The Mighty Dells. TEMPTS my favorite ..but Those Mighty Dells were Mighty Close:)
Rip Mr Charles Barksdale, bass singer for the Mighty Dells. 💖 5/15/19
Here in 2017, Congratulations on receiving the Life Time Achievement Award from President Obama, the Dells are, were, and always will be MIGHTY!!! LUV, LUV.
The Dells were the most humble group ever! There was no star in the lineup. Look at how they defer to each other. That's how they had the same members for so long.
Enjoy a new release featuring The Dells! Recorded in 2022 by Verne Allison Jr. (the son of our 2nd Tenor, Verne Allison Sr.), “Missin’ You” features never-released vocals of The Dells, as well as a guest appearance by Marvin Junior Jr (son of our lead singer, Marvin Junior Sr). Check out the video czcams.com/video/ZoTunPiw8k8/video.html
Yasssssss!!!
" The Love We Had" is probably one of the greatest songs ever about lost love. The balance between baritone and tenor is flawless. Big Marvin and Johnny Carter work together like a fine tuned machine. There has never been anyone better, never.
"But I'm not complaining"
"Because that's how it goes"
"There"s always some heartache in this world I suppose"
"But you can't imagine, and nobody knows..........
I watch tos live everyday mostly I TRULY Enjoy this Great Group Best I have ever heard on my 67 years on THIS Earth I SIMPLYove Them The Music The Voices THIS BEst We E er Had
This group stands the test of time. Spectacular. Always remembered. I learned about love and life from heart felt lyrics like this. Thank you. Music is one of the greatest a compliments of man.
That’s my favorite song from the Dells.
Amazing memories!😊
If you weren't around to hear music in the 60's and 70's you really missed a great era of music. Even now looking back it brings such happy memories. These singers really knew how to make you feel what they were singing about. And they really gave us a performance, singing and the dance steps and the harmonizing was amazing. I miss this so much in today's music. But thanks for the memories.
Yes they did!
100%+++++Right!!!!! Agree
I love the sound of the 60 - 70s. The Dells were one of the best there sound is just as great today. That's sanging!!
The best tenor and baritone ever!
Marvin was the man... He give birth to David Ruffin, Teddy Pendergrass, Johnny Gill and myself......May he rest in peace. Thanks for sharing your gifts.
I would say though the original version of "O what a night" predates David Ruffin with the Temptations, I would consider them contemporaries with Ruffin being the much bigger star in the sixties.
Stuart Perry Ruffin was the bigger star because he had the Motown machine behind him. You give Marvin that machine and the tempts would have been just as good if not better. Marvin Junior never got his just due.
And not to mention he's nowhere near a dam Teddy Pendergrass
Marvin Junior was the best!!
@@johngoogly Preach.
Ain’t NOTHING and NOBODY MALE OR FEMALE THAT CAN BEAT OLD SCHOOL SOUL MUSIC. These singers paid dues and paved the way for the ‘microwave’ entertainers of today in all genres!!!!! So grateful for the musical legacy they leave as they go HOME👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾When an elder dies- it’s like a LIBRARY closing!!!
Stay in my cornerr......with all due respect to Paul Williams, David Ruffin, Teddy Pendergast,Eddie Levert and Dennis EdwardsOn this jam Marvin proves that he was the greatest R&B baritone that ever lived.
Beautyful
Without a doubt. The power and beauty of his voice is unmatched. Together their voices on this song is so incredible it brings tears to my eyes. They were a cosmic force.
@@rozenaxsax5133 Amen!
The Dells would sing circles around the Temptations!!!!!
@@lynwoodme8558 So not true& not relevant.
In memory of late great Mr. Marvin Junior lead vocalist of the Mighty Mighty Dells it's been 6yrs since you left your earthly home we miss you soooooooo much rest easy friend you deeply miss your supporters May 29 2013 is very sad but you singing will Heavenly choir, rest on....till we meet again..the G.O.A.T gone but never forgotten, we love you...❤❤❤❤❤
Its good to see people giving the Mighty Dells some love. These guys could vocalize with ANYBODY! One of the most underrated groups ever!
They didn't have to JUMP AROUND to sell SEX no disrespect to you tempts hats off2 you HAT'S on!!;; THE DELLS hand's down.no.1 all time
Sole survivor that's all I'm saying in Jesus name amen amen
True The Mighty Dells were underrated..that is because My TEMPTS 'Didn't Look back'...they had lots of competition; but The TEMPTS have Otis.
MARVIN's voice was the baddest at holding a note, but don't let us forget about JOHNNY's falsetto he could captivate the audience and fans would be spellbound. All in all, THE GREATEST MALE GROUP EVER!!🥰
The Dell's music touches me from head to toe! Today's Music can't live up to the Real Deal!
Your comment is so sweet.
The Mighty Mighty Dells touches everyone from heard to toe
Marvin Juniors voice is unbelievable. The entire group can sing and the band is excellent. Great mini concert. ❤❤ I saw this group at Radio City Hall and they were excellent.
Who else could hold a note like Marvin he was the best
I was two when I heard the Dells. My dad and mom say that's when I started singing. I still love group singing and harmony. The Dells we're the best group in the world. Nobody can sing like the Dells. And anybody who told Marvin Jr. he couldn't sing was crazy crazy crazy.. I love I can sing a rainbow 🌈.
Year 2023. This is 50 yrs old.. Still timeless andI am still in love❤
Marvin Junior was absolutely the precursor to Teddy P. These guys were the real deal. And that falsetto was the purest you’ll ever hear. Even today " Stay in my corner" could make young girls cry. New Edition?? Give me break...
One of tha BADDEST group's, hands down. Very much ahead of their time back then.

Marvin and Johnny give me chills...no one will ever compare
Marvin and Johnny, AMAZING! Super Baritone, Super Soprano!
I second that! No other voice, unmatched between Marvin Junior, & Johnnie Carter. RIP!!! Rest in Peace! We'll SURELY MISS You All!!! Even the 2 that are still left!!!
My boyfriend sent this to me. I didn't know at the time he was 4 weeks from his death! This music made sure he will always stay on my mind ❤
UNDER-RATED !!! GREAT GROUP, POWERFUL LEAD SINGER. REAL SOUL MUSIC.
This is , without question, on of the greatest soul concerts ever recorded! Truly, their like will never be known again! Pure soul, and no lie!
WE ARE GOING WAY BACK NOW THE 1970S ! RIGHT ON!!! 5 21.
Marvin is unmatched!!!!!!
True that
Moves were smooth. Harmonies and fros were tight! The Mighty, Mighty Dells!
RIP Marvin and Johnnie,there will never be another vocal group like this again!
There will never be another. 😢
That is so true there will never ever be a group like The Mighty, Mighty Dells. ❤️❤️❤️
2023 and I sit and listen to these GROWN MEN DAILY!!! LOVE ME SOME DELLS!!!!💋💋💋💋💋
These guys are true Legends this stuff never gets old!
Them boys can sang! This is what music is all about. They sanging
from their heart & soul.
What I like about the interplay between Marvin and Johnny is that you can tell they enjoy and respect each other's talent.
It's still a blessing to be here in 2023 to enjoy this. ❤ 🙏
Amazing! Real singers, real musicians! Rest in peace Marvin , you were one of the GREATEST!!!
those 3 harmonizing guys are absolutely brilliant. timeless.
l.p.
Res , thst
Yes, that's what I miss
hominizing yesI loved
listening them sing. In
my book they're stil
hominizing
I remember this performance on Ellis Haizlip's Television show SOUL! SOUL! was the first of it's kind and not just fab performances, Ellis had actors, poets, & civil rights activists on each show. Never missed it! It was on New York's Channel 13 which also was a PBS back then. The show ran from 1968 - 1973.
Not to be confused with Soul Train which came along later. ✌👏👏
Timeless, absolutely BRILLIANT !
I will always remember how GREAT these guys were. --- perhaps the greatest soul group ever
Amen
EXCELLENCE! !!no doubt about it. The MIGHTY DELLS!!!!!
This song is such a treasured classic. The Dells were an awesome group. A unique blend of superior voices that to this day has not been duplicated. African American Men Rhythm & Blues Quintets have such a important and vital role in Soul Music. The Dells, The Temptations, The Dramatics, The Manhattans, The Jackson 5ive, the list goes on and on and the sound lives forever. Often imitated but never duplicated.
Amazing group talent vocals...miss those days and music...like we always have a nickname!!!❤
Marvin was THEE greatest R&B voice of our time. Runners up TP & Bobby Lester ! The combination of Marvin Junior & Johnny Carters voices CAN NOT BE BEAT.......thats right I said it !
Excellence personified. All the artistes of today should watch this video and see how a live performance should really be done. Simply awesome.
I've listened to this concert about 2 dozen times since I first found it and it never gets old. The greatest music to raise your soul up to the highest level of happiness and well being. This great singers were one of the soundtracks of my youth and they are still here giving me so much enjoyment in my old age. Johnny Carter and Marvin Jr. two of the greatest voices in the universe staying in my corner for all eternity.
'Open Up My Heart' and 'Nadine' 28:45
This is a master piece
I grew up with this kind of music, and so glad I can find videos of them. I especially liked Marvin and Johnny Carter's voices! Wow! What voices! And they had class and respect in their music!
As sad as it is to say and believe R.I.P. Marvin Junior who passed away this afternoon (5/29/13) HUGE loss.....my prayers go out to Marvin's family, friends, and fans, and his Dells family Chuck, Verne, and Michael...
The mighty mighty dells ---the greatest group there ever was ----Marvin Junior the greatest lead there ever was
I love the Dells so much. I enjoyed this clip immensely. Beautiful harmonies, gifted singers. Shout out to the band as well. Gotta show this to my kids. I raised them on this kind of music.
bigmomma501 a brilliantly melodious cLASS IC NUBIAN WOOLY HAIR AFRICAN WARRIORS SINGER DUO GROUP AND BAND ONE RHYTHMS AND BLESSINGS BLUES BEST IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2017,TO.😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Me to I have introduced my children to this quality of music and many other very talented and intelligent artists that have set the standards and maintained them the entire time!
I am 74 years and the first time I saw these five extraordinary men r was only 16 so you know they are seasoned
I should be paying for this concert. These guys are just too good they deserve every dime.
So true dont seem fair we get to see one of the most spectacular performances of all time from wherever we are fir free
One of my all-time favorite groups!! Marvin Junior was the TRUTH!! My favorite song was and still is," THE LOVE WE HAD STAYS ON MY MIND".
I have to show this to my grandfather. His brother was Marvin Jr. and I had never seen him so hurt then when I walked into the house after he found out he was gone. He's going to love watching this. CZcams is known for some pretty ridiculous stuff but this is pretty awesome.
I can’t imagine how happy (while watching that video) made your grandfather ❤
Loved me some Dells.
The note Marvin Junior hit and held on "I Can Sing a Rainbow" is freaking inhuman. I think Johnny Gill is the only male R&B artist in this present day with the range and power to sustain that note.
You could be right Jonny Gill can definitely sing.
Stay in my corner, he holds the note for 23 seconds. Amazing
Oh yes! This is the real deal.. These brothers can bring it.
Takes me back to a wonderful time/space in my life. Sing On
Man Junior could blow!
The last two songs, It’s All Up to You and The Love We Had Stars on My Mind, both Terry Callier compositions. Beautiful songs in the hands of master vocalists always works.
Man, they sound just like the records!
you can't understand and realize the power of Marvins voice unless you could have seen them perform live, he voice litterally could knock down walls I've never heard a voice that powerful
R.I.P. Mr Marvin Junior. Thanks for sharing that great voice of yours with us. We are truly grateful.
Let's discussed what really happened. When Leonard Chess told Marvin Junior (you are not a singer) was when The Dells
known as (The Elrays) were still in High School. We had recorded a song called 'DARLING I KNOW' and our first royalty
check was $16.95. We were so angry that we got our release,
went across the street and signed with VJ, changed our name.
Long story short - We recorded the Original, Oh What a Night
on Vee Jay, Moved to New York, lived in Harlem until I (mickey) got hurt in an automobile accident (Ohio Turnpike)
We never received a Royalty Check from Vee Jay Records,
and they released The Dells & The Impressions on the same
day. The Dells went back to Chess, Bobby Miller was our new
producer and Charles Stepney was our arranger. our first check from Leonard Chess was $50,000 (which refutes that
'Cadillac Records' Movie. The Impressions went to ABC Records, and became stars.. Vee Jay folded and declared
Bankruptcy. The Dells became STARS Michael (mickey) McGill (The Dells Baritone). View The Dells, Award Winning Emmy, 'Oh What A Night' on CZcams part 1 2 3
JOHNNY AND MARVIN.....MAGIC....
And may they both R.I.P.
IMO Marvin was the GOAT!
The harmony they created ahs yet to be duplicated
IMO yeah he was!
youaintneverlied this is whats missing in black vocal groupso called singing! they need to be given proper vocal training!
Marvin Junior's Vocal Range is one of a kind. He yells in harmony. Enjoyed this
"yells in harmony". 🤔😳🤯💀😳💯
@@househead67 ...That comment cracked me up!
Yes he hits that note every time 😊❤🎉
😂😂😂😂😂 he sure did💖
Wow, awesome
You know, I missed out on the Dells early on because my love for music was Motown in the 60's and Doo Wop in the 50's but when I started listening to the Dells I could believe what a fantastic group they were. Now I'm pushing 74 and I listen to them all the time along with so many other groups. When I first heard "There Is" I couldn't play it enough. OMG! So awesome.
Same here,Corky
Marvin Junior's passion as a vocalist is UNMATCHED ...
Just listening to Mr Cater`s sweet falsetto on " The love we had stays on my mind ", his back ground harmony and vocals were flawless, not knocking the others, but his is perfect, you can't help but notice it. Love the Mighty Dells. 💖
This is 2021, who or what group do you know that can blow like this? There aren't any. Listening to them just send chills down my back. How gifted they are.
There's no one nowadays that can hold a candle to the Mighty Mighty Dells!🎶 🎤🎶🙏
They are definitely GREAT🔥vocals beyond on point. Give them their credits/flowers…… plus in my humble opinion we have been blessed with a group in 2021-22 that also can “blow, dance , band is a killer, musicians vibing while playing instruments and a lead singer that can set a high range, vocals or any cord on Sweet Fire..I’m grateful we are here to see and hear both according to our preferences 💯💫👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥
@@shavonnie2106 Foh... You must be mad!!!! No group out now can hold a candle up nor next to them.... And that's Black or White band!!!!
@@dimitrijackson9474 mr Jackson what the hell are you talking about ??? I LOVED THE DELLS. My review clearly Said they were burning down the room. I loved so many of their songs it was a true blessing to discover them again. FACTS matter.
The love we had stays on my mind still makes me sad. My husband and I ALWAYS danced to that !!!!❌‼️
@@dimitrijackson9474 additionally regardless of what you think I said or meant that’s why we ALL have opinions and Ears ! I don’t hate on successful anything. I celebrate people blessings. My thought of a blessing might not line up with yours but I think that’s called LIFE. 💯👀🤣
The harmony and the way how Marvin holds on to that note on "Stay" blows my mind every time!!!
The DELLS are a very important part of my life... they bring the sweetest memories to me and take me back to a very special time that I will never forget.. I dedicate these songs to my 2 beloved angels who are in heaven now...
marvin junior... D*MN. what a way to belt out a song with soul. what a perfect back and forth.
I can never watch them perform without getting goosebumps, my God they are slaying this song!!
I love the Dells. I just can't stop thinking about this video.
Flawless Performance !!!!
The Dells ..... one of the greatest groups there ever was!
Dealer Po
So true!!! Legendary!!!
Best of D best.
@@CJack-xi3sw literally the best group ever!!! And Marvin is unmatched as a vocalist!!!!
One of the best groups of ALL times! I'm constantly listening to their masterpieces. I would've LOVED to see them LIVE!!!!!!! Much love & hats off to these legendary singers.......let's give them a Standing Ovation!!!!!💕
This group was the soundtrack of so many people's teenage years!
Teddy Pendergrass thanks you Marvin Junior!
I wish there was a time machine, so I could go back in time 2c what really really good music was like...This feels so good 2 my soul!!
this was and still is our music, it had meaning and help groom us in the areas of love and adulthood. Music does not have that appeal today, It''s all about back that thang up For shame
This group stands alone their simply the best saw them @ Fox theater new years 92 man they put a seal on their legacy that night and you never seen a better group of classy guys they sung their hearts out too... Their soulful music should make every soul brother and soul sister proud to be Black I sure am.
Sweet Harmony and Melodies!!!!!! Perfect Pitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My beautiful Mother’s favorite dustie Oh What A Night!!! Chicago Gentlemen doing their thing!!! Get it Y’all!!!!
Oh what a performance by the mighty Dell's love it
LOOOOOOOOVE them and their music!!!!
Really captivating performance from one of the greatest R&B groups ever! Thanks for sharing.
Went to see the DELLS in 1969 at the Aregon ball room in Chicago,Ill. What a night!
I remember when I was a little girl, my cousin and I snuck in this club, underage but slipped to the front of the stage and this group was singing. As a child of was mesmerized!🎵🎶🎵🎸🙂🧡💚💙💜🧡
I love the Dells! Sorry we lost Marvin Jr. I'm just finding this out. By going to Google. RIP Marvin Jr.
The pioneers the O’Jays are my favourite soul group but the Dells were one of the greatest to ever did it they inspire the likes of the O’Jays, Whispers and many others.
R I P Marvin. What a voice!!
One of the best singers ever!
this is so sad. I didn't know marvin had passed. it is like losing a family member, a loved one. the beautiful voice, the playful nature, truly irreplaceable. my deepest condolences to his friends and family.
The amazing thing is the fact that they are really singing.
Bac ( in'da ) day, that's what music was bout, " singing " ya' azz'off...
these songs, the words in these songs, the feeling that the man put behind the words in these songs. now, that's how a man and women stayed together/married for 40, 50, 60 years. have mercy.
you can't keep a woman singing "back that thing up". well, maybe you can, but she won't be worth keeping.
The greatest voices ever!!! Long live the music of the Fabulous Dells.
BEST RANGE OF VOCALS EVER!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥that’s classic soul!!!!
The Love We Had Stays On My Mind is pure vocal perfection. Incredibly beautiful harmonies and tonalities that nobody these days could ever match.
Right ON😮!
You are right …..not even Bruno Mars can match their creativity
Right on love it
I’m listening, can’t believe what I’m hearing . No doubt these men were absolutely great and underrated. I can’t believe they were not in my favorites for every year that I’ve lived. WOW!
