You've just inspired another post over at Feel It!
You can find Terry Callier's name credited on a number of Dells records at the beginning of the 70s. I've posted two more for you.
I always thought the "sea horse" was a just a horse inspired by the knight chess piece (as Cadet was a Chess sister label).
(I am relative newcomer to The Dells too.)
There's a lovely b-side version of Marvin's 'Flying High In A Friendly Sky' on the CD of What's Goin' On that features The Dells on backing vocals - what a combination! I think we all need to get more classic doo-wop. The world'd be a brighter place.
PS: Thank you Simon: 'Stay In My Corner' is up at my place x
I like The Dells so much I went to see The Five Heartbeats - possibly a step too far, but great in places.
For a delicious melange of their voices with the Nicholas Bros, have a look and listen here
