This was one of their best Ballard's. Marvin Junior has a voice that is incredibly strong, powerful and yet soulful. There are some great singers but I do not believe anyone compares to him...often imitated but can't be duplicated. God only made one. His legacy and the Dells will live forever.
Sang Mr. Marvin Junior your legacy will live on forever, One greatest male baritone vocalists of all time, Marvin was in group by himself, bar none no one will ever come near this artist, we loss great man, singer, songwriter, unique voice was no other, when Marvin belt out those lyrics it's like he took you to hold different level...I could listen to all day errrrrr day just miss him so much!!!! Rest easy you will never ever be forgotten we miss you deeply...🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🔥😘😉🎵🎵
So glad to have seen them perform live on several occasions even though the last time they were all on stools-performance was magnificent! The Dells are SOLID GOLD!
The Mighty Mighty Dells what else can you say about these guy's the longest RnB group stayed together 6 decades, they paved way for many of RnB groups today's they definitely icon group, great music. we love , adore, you guy's for having staying power to stay together for 60 years, I salute you guys, my understanding is that, there had been many attempts to get Marvin Junior to leave the group and go solo artist, but he wouldn't leave the group, Kudos to Mr. Marvin Junior for staying with group...we love guys more you all will ever know thank for 60 years of dedicated work in music business bc I know it wasn't easy for you guy's but I thank God you all didn't give up kept going that's indicative of the love you guy's has for the group and music...the one and only The Mighty Mighty Dells!!!
No doubt. It's the blueprint for another one of their hits "Close The Door." I was in the house (Constitution Hall) when they came through and lit up the night. Unforgettable. I'm still in it 2024. M A N E !!
No one does it better.. Marvin Junior, one of a kind. His voice had that reach down deep into your soul vibe. Oh yes. The Dells are classic with swag. Always, RIP Mr. J. Love to you all. Peace and Love

WOW those lyrics give me Goosebumps................ I hope nobody ever dedicate this song to me but I sure dedicate it to youuuuuuuuuuuuuu......... you know who I mean..............!!!!!! R.I.P Johnny I miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuu
This song was #10 on "The Dells - I Salute You" 40th Anniversary CD in 1992. Yes you're right it should have gotten air time along with several other tunes on that CD. It was produced by Gamble & Huff. Hope that helps.
SO GLAD I GOT TO SEE THEM PERFORM BEFORE THE DEMISE OF TWO MEMBERS. I REMEMBER DISTINCTLY THE BARITONE SINGER MADE A STATEMENT AND SAID; YALL BETTER ENJOY US NOW WE WON'T ALWAYS BE PERFORMING....WHAT AN OMEN.....
I wish someone could send me this file of this song it is my favorite i have looked all over this world for this song. no luck. nothing like the dells. Marvin and Mr Carter are awesome.
Great!!! Kinda reminds me of, Somebody Sho have got to go, by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, old time, waaaayback, Chicago blues. The Mighty Mighty Dells!!!
Correct. Teddy got his style from Marvin Junior. He said so to Don Cornelius whereas he reminded Marvin Jr on the live show. It's on youtube. This song has the same vamp as "Close The Door." Finally, the late great Charles Stepney's arrangements put the Dells in orbit long before he became the DNA of Earth Wind and Fire.
Wow!! I'm going through this same life situation right now and it seems to linger without progress. I'm wondering how The Dells got wind of my unhappy moment and turned it into song?
@williamg2552 Never mind. I know what happened . RAP and HIP HOP !!! Pure GARBAGE !! Steals radio time from REAL R&B like THIS !!! Who knows how many OTHER great R&B tunes we've missed because of it.....

That's so sad.they never stopped trying. Even on stools they gave a great show.

Not an omen.. reality!
No question, Teddy said Marvin inspired him to sing that was who he wanted to sound like.
I wish someone could send me this file of this song it is my favorite i have looked all over this world for this song. no luck. nothing like the dells. Marvin and Mr Carter are awesome.
Great!!! Kinda reminds me of, Somebody Sho have got to go, by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, old time, waaaayback, Chicago blues. The Mighty Mighty Dells!!!
M Jones is
Marvin sounds every bit as big and soulful as Teddy Prendergrass ❤
Marvin was sometimes referred to as Teddy's Musical Father
Correct. Teddy got his style from Marvin Junior. He said so to Don Cornelius whereas he reminded Marvin Jr on the live show. It's on youtube. This song has the same vamp as "Close The Door."
Finally, the late great Charles Stepney's arrangements put the Dells in orbit long before he became the DNA of Earth Wind and Fire.
Sang Marvin..sang that song..Somebody's gotta go..so cold..don't be so mean. Love this song
Yes, the whole cd was Gamble & Huff.
This is very nice and smooth..vintage Dells..my first time ever hearing this song..how old is it?
