About this album

Oh, What A Nite is a fine early Dells album, rooted in the close-harmony doo-wop sound that helped define late-1950s vocal R&B. The Chicago group bring polish, emotional lift and street-corner directness to material such as the title song, making the record a vivid example of the genre’s shift from local vocal-group style towards broader pop appeal. Heard in this 1959 set, The Dells already show the blend of rich lead singing and tight ensemble work that would later make them one of soul’s most respected vocal groups. It stands as an important snapshot of their formative years.
