The Del-Knights were an American doo-wop band prominent in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The band was known for their harmonic vocal arrangements and unique blend of R&B and rock and roll, which embodied the transition between the two genres during that era. Their most notable song, "Compensation," remains a classic in the doo-wop genre. Despite having a relatively short-lived career, The Del-Knights made a significant impact on the music of their time, helping to shape the evolution of popular music in America.
