The Mighty Dells 50th Anniversary 2001

I shot this video on May 5, 2001 on the 50th Anniversary of The Mighty Dells for their performance at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. This would be the last opportunity I would get to document this wonderful Doo Wop group that hailed from Harvey, Illinois. Their hits were a part of the soundtrack of my youth in senior high school. "Stay In My Corner" was the 'blue lights in the basement' anthem in Washington, DC which The Mighty Dells considered their second home. You can imagine how overwhelming it was for me as a photojournalist to grow up & eventually meet The Mighty Dells, photograph them, & play golf with Marvin Junior, Jr. (Marvin Sr.'s son). Enjoy and embrace this moment in time as well as the other videos I shot of this game changing quintet over the years. We miss them and love them and wish the best for the surviving members Verne Allison and Michael McGill.
