The Deele

The Deele, an American R&B and soul music band, emerged from the vibrant music scene of the 1980s, leaving an indelible mark through a string of hits and memorable albums. Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, the group initially made waves with their debut album "Street Beat" in 1983, showcasing a fresh blend of funk, soul, and R&B that would define their sound. The band includes notable members such as Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Antonio "L.A." Reid, who would later become powerhouse figures in the music industry as producers and executives.

The Deele gained national attention with tracks like "Two Occasions" and "Body Talk," songs that became synonymous with the era's romantic balladry and dancefloor-ready rhythms. Albums such as "Material Thangz" (1985), "Eyes of a Stranger" (1987), and "An Invitation to Love" (1993) further cemented their status in the R&B genre. Through their innovative sound and visual style, The Deele not only captured the essence of 80s R&B but also laid the groundwork for the future successes of Babyface and L.A. Reid, illustrating the band's lasting impact on the music industry.
