Recommended Posts

i just got this record (vid below) and both sides are awesome! (love the atmospheric production - reminds me of Joann and Troy "same old feeling" on Atlantic)

 

question - who were they? what else did they do? (solo, in other groups, etc)

 

thanks!

Don El Records was Philly based & owned by real estate man Donald White. 

His labels flourished from about 1960 through to around 1967. The company was based out of 2020 Ridge Ave, Philly for some time (62 to 66 at least).

He had three labels Don El, Chestnut and Alpha. Chestnut was primarily used for country music which he also liked.

Wally Osbourne & Bobby Martin were his main producers.

Artists signed to his labels included Eddie Holman, the Celestrals, Bobby Holland, the Daychords, Little Grier, Lady Fox & the Foxettes, Fluffy Falana & more.

The Celestrals started on Don El & transferred across to Alpha.

No real idea who Ronnie & Joyce were though, obviously a Philly based pairing.
