Bro, I'm almost 65 yrs old... most of us are in our 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Don't let these true classics pass on with us. It's up to you guys to bring it out... expose it to the world of today, and just as important, create and develop new romantic, soulful music for future generations to come! Peace...

@Sal Ferrer: I Googled the definition of "Slow Dance". How do you explain it to a generation that for the most part wouldn't understand what you stated above Sal. #House Party or The Week-End Dances we attended. Definition: "The "slow dance" is different than the typically upbeat sets enjoyed in the course of the average dance. It allows for a flirty or possibly romantic moment with your partner".

The Dells from Harvey IL, where my late husband's from, (I'm from a neighboring town so The Dells were extra close to our hearts) started singing in high school around 1953 and had a 60 year career until the death of the high voice Johnny in 2009 & Illness forced them to retire. They were inducted into The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. This song & group will always be a timeless one of a kind. They did many others like "Oh What A Night", "The Love We Had", "Give Your Baby A Standing Ovation" that I know you'd like to hear.

I saw them at the New Regal in 1987 when I thought they were OVER THE HILL. Marvin Junior, the world's most phenomenal 2nd tenor/baritone lead singer, held THAT NOTE for 47 seconds! I once held the note for 36 seconds in 2019, but could not continue the song, I was so winded. The mighty, mighty, mighty Dells are the vocal group by whom I measure ALL vocal groups. The quintessential vocal group! The pride and joy of Harvey, Illinois---the baddest group on the planet! You have experienced GREATNESS, IMMORTALITY and PROFOUNDNESS, Youngblood! Keep being great!

Before The Temptations blew us away with a mind-blowing collection of great singers and harmonic milestones, this "blue light in the basement" Classic, "Stay in My Corner" is a soulful operatic triumph. To dare and release a single over 6 minutes at that time when 2-3 minutes was the maximum/normal length of a programmable radio edit in the 60s, proved everyone wrong that when something this is great.......time is irrelevant. A magnificient vocal showcase and Charles Stepney's equally stunning production and arrangement.

There is an aussie group called "old 55," featuring Frankie J Holden, from back in the day. They sang a song I love, called "Looking for an Echo," about trying to harmonise, in which they list their inspirational groups. The Moonglows, The Harptones and the Dells. They talk about playing their old 45's, those are records played at 45 speed, other records were played at 33 speed. Record players had a switch, so you could set for the right speed, so it didn't sound like the chipmunks.
