Wow, this was one of my favorite groups from the 80's. I just keep reminiscing about being a teenager and listening to the Deele. It brings back memories of old boyfriends. My favorite Deele songs are Just My Luck, Dry Your Eyes, All I've Ever Known,Sweet November,Two Occasions,Let No One Separate Us and Crazy Bout Cha. They just don't make music like this anymore. I don't like the new music out these days so I went back into my crates and started listening to music from the 80's.This marks the beginnings of a young Babyface. Babyface is all man he loves God, loves women, and is very romantic. He pours his heart out and doesn't care what people think. Babyface is the most prolific singer, songwriter and producer. he has such a sweet mellow and distinctive voice. He has written so many great songs. I love listening to Babyface he has gotten me over my broken hearts. This is a must have CD. Way to go Babyface and LA what a great production team.

This is a great album from a great group I used to like the deele they were out in the early 1980's throughout the late 1980's. I think but I am not sure that the deele helped produce Pebbles she was great I remember when they had made a cameo appearance in Pebbles video "Girlfriend" helping her sing her song. The " Deele" had consisted of the makings of legendary music tycoons "Babyface"Kenneth Edmonds, and L.A. Reid and together they had formed a partnership with the LA Face Record Label they are no longer a team anymore but babyface is still perfoming on his own and is still writing music for other people and actually for some of the same people Toni Braxton and TLC to name a few. TLC and Toni Braxton were signed to the LAFACE record label and Babyfabce and L.A. had helped both parties become successful and they had done some fine work together in the past; Including with the "Deele" this was a very dynamic classic group I remember when Babyface had did a remake to the Stylistics trademark song"You make me feel brand new" I thought that he did a pretty nice job on it" Back to the Deele the group had much success and stayed on the scene for quite a while they had a lot of hits and I really did like this group they had some nice songs. Some of my favorite songs on this album is: Just My Luck, Sweet November, Body Talk, Shoot Em Up Movies, Two Occasions, and many other great songs I would truly recommend anyone who likes Babyface to buy this album!!!!

I'm feelin' all of their early stuff like Body Talk, Just My Luck, I Surrender, Crazy Bout Cha, and Sweet November (Babyface's first solo song) as well as their New Jack Ballads like Shoot Em Up Movies, Let No One Seperate Us, and of course Two Occasions!!!! All great early to late 1980s classics that you barely hear anymore! This is a must get! Their debut 83 (has Body Talk and I Surrender) on cd is available in limited quantities and their second lp from 85 (has I'll Send You Roses and Sweet November) is long out of print and never made into cd format.

I purchased this cd and I am not disappointed. It brings back so many good memories. It also brings some sad ones. Music just isn't made like this anymore. From Just My Luck, I'll Send You Roses, Sweet November, Two Ocassions, Shoot Em Up Movies etc.. there is no disappointment. I didnt realize that the Deele had made most of these hits so I was very delighted when I listed to I'll Send You Roses and realized that I'd been searching for this song. Anyway I give it five stars because of the 16 tracks at least 12 are keepers for me.

Back in the early 1980s, before Babyface became a household name, he was in a little group called The Deele. This collection represents thier tenure with SOLAR Records. It showcases their earlier gems such as Body Talk, Just My Luck and Sweet November. Most of their ballads are now Quiet Storm classics. Who can ever forget Two Occassions (their biggest hit). I highly reccomend this if you want to get to know LA Reid (before becoming a record executive) and Babyface's earlier material.

What a great re-find for me! This album brought back memories of Roller skating Saturdays at my favorite rink in Boston and everything that went with growing up in the 80's.
"Two Occassions" was The Deele's bigegst hit but for me my favorite track off this album was "Shoot'em up movies".
If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and give it a listen and if you haven't heard it in a while, reacquaint yourself with it and The Deele, you'll be happy you did.

Went to high school with half the group including some within the Midnight Star Group. Tudy, Darnelle, the Calloway's. These guy's really put the Nati'(Cincinnati)on the map. It's good to see that their music is still appreciated by those who enjoyed good creative music.

Loves it!!!!!

As I listened to the songs on this CD it took me back to my high school days and all the memories that went along with them. Great Buy :)

This album is so-so. I really only bought it for their one song - Two Occasions. This is the only thing worth listening. I was hoping they'll have more hits like this in their "greatest hits" CD but was disappointed.

I hadn't heard a few of the songs in a while so naturally it brought back memories. In all I'm glad I purchased the cd. It is a good addition to my ole skool collection.
