The Dells were an American R&B vocal group. Formed in high school in 1953 by founding members Marvin Junior, Verne Allison, Johnny Funches, Chuck Barksdale, and Michael and Lucius McGill, under the name the El-Rays.[1] They released their first recording in 1954 and two years later had their first R&B hit with "Oh What a Night".[1] After disbanding due to a near-fatal car crash in 1958, the band re-formed in 1960 with Funches being replaced by Johnny Carter.[1] This lineup remained together until Carter's death in 2009.[2] In 2004 the Dells were inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame[3] and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.[4] The group performed until illness forced longtime lead singer Marvin Junior and bass vocalist Chuck Barksdale into retirement, ending the group's 60-year run.
