The Del Royals

The Del-Royals were one of numerous vocal groups in New Orleans during the late '50s and early '60s, and were lucky enough to get signed to Minit Records. Their line-up featured Willie Harper, who became a virtual fixure on Minit's recording sessions, providing backing vocals to innumerable acts, as well as recording several singles on his own. Their sound was jaunty and filled with robust humor--"Always Naggin'" was a good representative track. ~ Bruce Eder
