Ljblanken Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 i just got this record (vid below) and both sides are awesome! (love the atmospheric production - reminds me of Joann and Troy "same old feeling" on Atlantic) question - who were they? what else did they do? (solo, in other groups, etc) thanks! ronnie and joyce - 'yes i'm falling in love'

The Tempest Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Keb Darge played both sides of this during his spots in the early eighties , I always preferred the A side myself , great dancer and cheap as chips nowadays

Roburt Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Don El Records was Philly based & owned by real estate man Donald White. His labels flourished from about 1960 through to around 1967. The company was based out of 2020 Ridge Ave, Philly for some time (62 to 66 at least).He had three labels Don El, Chestnut and Alpha. Chestnut was primarily used for country music which he also liked. Wally Osbourne & Bobby Martin were his main producers. Artists signed to his labels included Eddie Holman, the Celestrals, Bobby Holland, the Daychords, Little Grier, Lady Fox & the Foxettes, Fluffy Falana & more. The Celestrals started on Don El & transferred across to Alpha. No real idea who Ronnie & Joyce were though, obviously a Philly based pairing. see here …..https://www.discogs.com/artist/Celestrals%2C+The & here …. https://www.45cat.com/label/alpha-records-philadelphia 1
Dave Moore Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 The full story of Donald White is told in the upcoming book I'm tweaking as we speak. He gave a lot of work to a lot of people who would go on to make great music a few years later.Regards,Dave 1
Speedlimit Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 im not sure but think they may have been members of The Donnels " it's better " c/w Everybody don't know " also on alpha this is just a hunch
Md Records Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 The real estate business is still there, I believe his son runs it now Des
