The 16 tracks in this collection represent the best of his recorded output for Vee-Jay. the dells best of the vee jay years (826663106404) The Dells are one of the finest and long-lasted R&B vocal groups of all time. Having formed in 1953, The Dells still perform to this day with very little line-up change. In 1955 The Dells became a household name thanks to their chart-topping smash "Oh What A Nite." After tour troubles in 1958 and a brief early 60's experiment in jazz harmony singing, The Dells once again returned to Vee-Jay and their R&B formula, throwing "Stay In My Corner" onto the charts and re-paving the road for a long and prosperous future. The 17 tracks in this collection represent the best of their recorded output for Vee-Jay.
