About the artist
American R&B vocal group from Chicago, active 1966-67 on Minit Records, produced by ex-Vee-Jay chief Calvin Carter. On the hit 'He'll Be Back' (1966) - a ballad about a young woman whose man is serving in Vietnam - lead singer Herbert Butler was backed by four members of the Dells (Chuck Barksdale, Johnny Carter, Vern Allison, Mickey McGill); Otha Lee Givens and Tony Lee Johnson then joined Butler for touring and the album. 'I'm Glad I Waited' (1966) is the sequel single in which the soldier comes home. [Source: Wikipedia / Popdose]
