The Deele is an American 1980s R&B band from Cincinnati, Ohio, notable for launching the careers of Grammy-winning super-producers Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Antonio "L.A." Reid. Their musical style blends smooth soul, pop, and funk, characterized by lush, synthesizer-dominated arrangements and tight, harmonious vocals. The band's most influential works include the hits "Two Occasions" and "Shoot 'Em Up Movies", both of which significantly shaped the sound of late-80s R&B. Despite their eventual disbandment, the Deele's influence remains, particularly through the contributions of Edmonds and Reid to the music industry.
