The Dells - Oh What a Nite (1969 version) REACTION!!!

[@lindakoschwitz7370]

That's the powerful Marvin Junior..man can SANG!!

[@irissanders7487]

Teddy Pendergrass said his mom would take him to see The Dells and he always admired and loved Marvin's voice....he even sounds like him.

After this great reaction, I agree. This is a great old classic by The Platters. Do you remember the movie this song was in ? I can’t remember.

The Mighty Mighty Dells, The Greatest Group Of All Time. My favorite group of all time.

[@edwardbroyles9738]

I've said this before. I grew up listening to this, big fan of doo wop, motown etc. So.. happy to see younger people discovering this music. OMG to the music of today!!!

[@lindapowers8592]

This is 1956. Two years before I was born. Great music we should never forget!

[@jamomathews9890]

These songs made you feel. I feel nothing from today's music. This really hurts because I love music so much. It's been so diluted.

[@VeronicaJ1959]

I remember dancing to this when I was a young girl.

[@Ddych81]

Great choice when my mother’s husband passed she played this song all night in day. This was his favorite group

[@marypulley6512]

I am so glad that this music came along when I was young and carefree. You would have loved to have been in high school listening to this on Dick Clark's Bandstand. Your face is so much fun to watch, you Get good music. Any music that you listen to from this Era is awesome

[@veronicasmith7076]

"The 5 Heartbeats" movie was loosely based on The Dells' life experiences.

[@jimmycake1]

WOW WOW WOW !! Memories !! Always Loved this !! First time I heard this was 1969 when I was sitting in my squads "C" Company Hooch at 11th Motors in Viet Nam !! My friend had it Blasting on his big Reel to Reel tape machine set up !!

[@sherriparra6751]

@Richard Rogers you brought up Vietnam and reel to reel, brought back memories of my Dad. First thing he bought was a reel to reel, when he came back to the states. I thought it was so fancy. It was 1969 too, he was stationed in Mississippi at that time. Thanks for bringing up a good memory. 💯👩🏼‍🦳

[@timothymunger3186]

Doo Wop. You can play that music forever. The progression from Doo Wop to Soul music was such a cool transition. Check out the Persuasions - Doo wop sound, but all acapella. I saw them in Minneapolis back in the '80's. They had just come back to the US from a tour in Israel. Within one song they had the audience in the palm of their hand. What a get area to take a deep dive into the music.

Great Choice! Another great Dells song is “STAY IN MY CORNER”; of of my Father’s favorite songs; I keep him alive in my heart through his music.

[@sixfootbeauty]

I so appreciate my parents playing songs they grew up on DAILY in our house and on the 8track player in the cars. So grateful. This was one of my early songs I loved. Mind you I was born the year after this (1970).

Great reaction ❤️ GQ I Do Love You. I think you may like it too. Doo-wop

[@oldbiddie]

The Dells was one group that didn't have one name above all the others like Diana Ross and the Supremes. When they "rededicated" this song, it came out during the reign of the mighty Temptations, and I remember thinking that the Dells were comparatively old men but when THIS album came out?? I RAN to the store! I played it for years until a CD came out, and I bought it! I love Stay In My Corner

[@maggies188]

They sound AMAZING! Great reaction Twon!!! ❤️

[@andreaschmall5560]

I was 14 and CRAZY about this guy I was hanging out with who used to sing along with this. BTW..1969 was a great year for music of every genre.

Great song! Love this Motown sound. One song I don’t understand why nobody has reacted to is “Hey There Lonely Girl” by Eddie Holman. Absolutely stunning song, so big…the notes he hits are incredible. Hope you are feeling better, Twon, good to see you back! Peace

You need to react Stay In My Corner live by the Dells

[@laminage]

They were one of many Groups who got their Start in the 1950's. In The Temptations Miniseries The Pre Temptations Group The Distants were on a Street Corner Singing. In those Days you practiced in The Bathroom for The Acoustics then you sang on A Street Corner under the Streetlight and the more popular you were the more of a crowd you got.

[@MicheleAndRandy]

Gotta react to The Dells Stay In My Corner

The Five Heartbeats movie was based on this group's past. Check out " A house is a heart for love" from that movie.

Great to see your expressions, Twon reacting to this majestic old school celebration of harmony! ❤️ Hope you're feeling better! This was beautiful. I see why you listen to Big Pete: he recommends great music!

[@ujimajame4601]

The Dells were one of the most successful groups of the '50's who were able to transcend time and score big hits in both the '60's and '70's. They had two lead singers - Marvin Junior (their main lead) inspired Teddy Pendergrass (and was famous for holding a note for an extremely long time) and their tenor Johnny Carter inspired the recently departed Skip Mahoney of The Casuals ("Wherever You Go" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKOvdWyFhdqmpbM). Please listen to their live performance which aired March 15, 1972 on the pre-PBS TV show "Soul!": kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4Ooc3trmdZpodE as well as "Love Is Blue"/"I Can Sing A Rainbow": kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2bIomOcn8mYqas, "Let The Feeling Talk To You" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXWufoKNn5V4raM and their duet with The Dramatics on "Love Is Missing From Our Lives": kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYq8i4l9bpyJiq8.

[@stevenmurano7863]

very cool man ! i had no idea that had re-recorded that song. i know the original. cool that you are willing to delve into some Doo Wop music. I'm afraid that music does not get much attention and not many new fans seem to be popping up. it's a shame. great stuff. great vocal arrangements and certianly played a huge part in the history of R&B/Rock n Roll. Maybe you will check out some more ? two days ago the fantastic Willie Winfield (lead singer of the Harptones) passed at 89. maybe you could check out some of their stuff 'the masquarade is over', 'the shrine of saint cecilia', sunday kind of love etc......
