There was a great singer by the name of Ronnie Dyson, who had an angelic voice. He sung, If You Let Me Make Love to you, Then Why Can't I Touch You. Also, I Just Don't want to be Lonely. His voice would put you in a place of peace and tranquility. Please react to his music.

... it was '56, but who's counting. And then they topped themselves by doing an updated version (much different) in '69. If you don't check out both versions, you're sellin yourself short.

Great video and reaction!! It brings me back to one of my favorite concerts: I'm SO glad to have had the pleasure of seeing The (Mighty, Mighty) Dells (and I believe that all the original members were present, along with Blue Magic and The Chi-Lites), at a Mother's Day show at The Newark, NJ Symphony Hall back in the late 1980s. I grew up with their music thanks to what used to be called, "Soul Radio" stations back in the late 1960s and my mom and her mini 8 track "Greatest Hits" tape of theirs. The movie, "The Five Heartbeats" was inspired by their career and The Dells sung on the film's soundtrack as well.

[@drunettaspencer1653]

Welcome to the music I grew up on. Don't you wish you had musicians like this!!! We were blessed!!! I saw them live at 13 I'm now 63

There will never be this type of singing again. Songs these days don't have the same meaning or intensity they had back then. I have lived through some of the best music ever. Grew up in the forties and fifties. People these days are deprived of real talent. It's a shame.
