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).

I try hard to like today's music and refrain from comparisons, but today's music never touches my soul. To truly feel something, I am forced to You Tube and listen to such greats as the Dells, the Ojays, Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, Teddy Pendergrass, etc. Man, I miss good music.

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.

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!!!

A "standing ovation" to you Marvin. You have fought a good fight...you stayed the course. Your voice will remain with us for all eternity, now rest in peace as the choir of heavenly angels take over from here. - May 29, 2013

Easily the greatest ever soul vocal combo. Stay in My Corner is just unbelievable. I notice there are 70 dislikes for this - who are these cloth ears? Thanks for posting - one of the best things on KZfaq.

Listening to these songs reminds me of a café in LaGrange Texas. The wood floor was warped, there was a pinball machine, a jukebox and a potbelly stove in the middle of the room. Those were hard times, but somehow, they were the best of times. I love reminiscing. So glad that I was a part of the era when music was music.
