Didn’t he have band?
Art Bell and the Drells?
Haha, I saw Archie Bell and the Drells at the Bamboo Hut on Galveston Beach in the summer of ‘67. They played a medley of their hit, “Tighten Up,” several times.
That number is mostly an instrumental by the TSU (Texas Southern University) Toronados. Archie sang “Tighten Up” (not much other lyrics) and the Drells did a syncronized line dance. They all were respendant in lime green blazers and lemon yellow slacks.
