Soul synth funk group formed in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, from the ashes of funk soul group Manchild (9).
Forming in 1981, The Deele recorded three albums during the 1980s, and scored two hit singles, "Shoot 'Em Up Movies" and "Two Occasions". L.A. & Babyface left the group after the release of their third album "Eyes Of A Stranger" (1988), and went on to become very successful producers for a variety of artists. The group reunited in 1993, without Reid and Edmonds, to record their final album, "An Invitation To Love". In 2007, The Deele continued touring and promoted their new single “The Only One” under Eieg/D-Town Records (Dallas Texas) with a full album scheduled to release in 2008.
