“Hi everybody! I’m Archie Bell and the Drells of Houston, Texas. We don’t only sing but we dance as good as we walk!” An absolutely recognizable intro to one of the biggest hits of 1968, but Archie had been drafted and was serving in Vietnam just as this record took off. The Army did allow him to do a few gigs while on leave. Archie’s brother was Ricky Bell, running back for the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
