The Dells dominated the R&B charts and were among the most successful Doo Wop bands ever.  The Dells were not just a Doo Wop band as they incorporated Jazz, Soul and Disco into their long lasting career.  The Dells were inducted in 2004, though their impact in the 50’s alone should have garnered their induction sooner than that.

They may not have sold a large amount of records, but the Flamingos were a huge part in the development of R&B and much of the Motown and Philly Sounds can be traced back to them.  This is an induction based more on influence than popularity.

Inducted in 2001.  From Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.
