{"title":"The Dell-Vikings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dell-Vikings were a seminal doo-wop group active in the mid 20th century, renowned for their tight harmonies and smooth vocal delivery. They are historically significant for being one of the first racially integrated musical groups in the United States. The band's most notable members included tenor Kripp Johnson and baritone Norman Wright, who contributed to their signature sound. Their most influential work, \"Come Go With Me,\" was a major hit in 1957, and continues to be a staple of the doo-wop genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"your-book-of-life-snowbound","title":"Your Book Of Life\/ Snowbound","description":"\u003cp\u003eNote: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve.

Like many former RnB vocal groups, the \"Del Vikings\" (as spelled on this label) transitioned to soul music, and the B side is a particularly fine example of that style. The A side leans more heavily back toward Doo-Wop. The group released a handful of singles on ABC-Pmt. in the early 1960s, but none appeared on an album.
