Posted November 3, 200618 yr Digging through some old LP's recently made me think are the Dells the greatest soul group ever? In terms of longevity they are probably unsurpassed and I believe the line up is virtually unchanged since their early days. "It's all up to you" is one of my all time tracks - simply flawless in my opinion.
November 3, 200618 yr think Richard Searling said over the fade out of this on one of his shows something like "thats what its all about...." have to agree

November 3, 200618 yr one of my favourite dells tunes is "hallelujah baby"... never seems to get plays.. couldn't be because its the flip of one of their biggest hits could it..? bless jc the messiah of northern soul
November 3, 200618 yr You gonna play "thinkin' Bout You" tonight Steve?? I'll bring "Hi Diddly Dee" and "It's All Up to You" Tony Junior THINKIN' ABOUT YOU,definatly giving that a spin tonite tony. Whats SOUL SAM gonna PLAY? Steve.
November 3, 200618 yr are the Dells the greatest soul group ever? ...Unquestionably so. Soul music just does not get any better than "Does Anbody Know I'm Here", "The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind)", "Please Don't Change Me Now" etc. I sometimes wish that those who just know the Dells tunes that have been played out down the years would dig a little deeper to find that "Make Sure" is not the alpha and omega of the Dells - but if they only know the dancers, they are blessed nonetheless...

November 4, 200618 yr dont trick me , treat me... love connection LP one of my faves at the mo.. . best, bri.

Stay in my corner has to rank as a bench mark record fantastic. ============= Huge venue, everybody seemed to leave once the Dells had been on I've got a vague recollection of the fire alarm going off in the morning, with about an hour to go, which kind of signalled the end of the night. It happened at Stoke as well, so I could be getting mixed up?
November 10, 200618 yr Fantastic group, so many great tunes all that have been mentioned plus ' Bring back the love of yesterday' and the sublime Dells/Dramatics-Love is missing from our lives.
