The Dells - The Dells

Review by Pastor Ben Koech

The album "The Dells" by Dells is a classic soul masterpiece that showcases the incredible vocal talents of this legendary group. From the first track to the last, the album is filled with powerful and emotional performances that will leave listeners spellbound.

The group's harmonies are particularly impressive, with each member contributing their unique voice to create a rich and full sound that is both timeless and contemporary. The songs range from upbeat and funky to slow and soulful, with each one showcasing the group's versatility and range.

Standout tracks include "Stay in My Corner", a haunting ballad that showcases the group's ability to convey deep emotion through their vocals, and "Oh What a Night", a lively and infectious tune that will have listeners tapping their toes and singing along.

In addition, there will be a white jacketed promotion album of the Dells' greatest hits which is to be sent out for radio programing purposes only. Total effort on your part, in store play as well as air promotion, guarantees this to be a successful project.
The album will contain such hits as:

The Dells have been a consistently popular and salable act and we are confident that this promotion will be very helpful in generating profitable sales of their album catalogue.
Help the Dells celebrate twenty years of togetherness................
Many thanx,
