Artist:The Dells
Song:A Heart Is A House For Love
Album:Ultimate Collection
This surprise 1991 hit from the film The Five Heartbeats introduced young people to one of the greatest and most enduring vocal groups in pop music history. The Dells began in 1953 in the Chicago suburb of Harvey, IL with high school students Marvin Junior, Johnny Funches, Verne Allison, Mickey McGill & Chuck Barksdale. Their first big hit was Oh What A Nite in 1956 and then Stay In My Corner in 1965. The Dells continued to record into the 80s with the same basic lineup. Just when it looked like they would be consigned to the oldies circuit, Robert Townsend asked them to help him with a film he wanted to make about classic R & B vocal groups. A Heart Is A House For Love was produced by George Duke and hit #13 on the R & B charts. It's a wonderful song on a par with any of The Dells classic recordings and you can get them all on this Ultimate Collection comp. The Dells continue to tour with most of the original members. They were incucted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2004. Here's the video for A Heart Is A House For Love by The Dells. I guess it's pretty good song for Valentine's Day so Happy V-Day to everyone
