The Dells Greatest Hits (1969)


"And when your hair has turned to silver, and the days of our youth have left us far behind, golden, golden memories we'll keep in our minds, and we'll always be...” listening to the Dells !

In 1967, The Dells teamed up with writer/producer Bobby Miller, who wrote and produced most of The Dells greatest hits, and arranger Charles Stepney (co producer of Earth Wind and Fire). This union produced 44 rhythm and blues chart records, including three (3) number one R&B hits: "Oh What A Night," which became a million seller in 1956 and again in 1969; "Stay In My Corner", the very first million seller single that was 6 minutes and 10 seconds long, and "Give Your Baby A Standing Ovation" (million seller 1973). The mighty “Stay In My Corner” is in this album, as well as “Always Together”, whose lyrics are quoted above and my own personal favorite, the upbeat dancer “Wear It On Our Face”.
