The Deele: "Dee" Darnell Bristol, "Carlos" Carl Greene (vocals); "Stick" Stanley Burke (guitar, keyboards, vocals); Kenny Edmonds (guitar, synthesizers, keyboards, vocals); "Kayo" Kevin Roberson (bass, background vocals); "LA" Antonio Reid (drums, background vocals).
Additional personnel: Melvin Gentry (guitar); Bo Watson, Bill Simmons, Vincent Calloway (synthesizer, keyboards).
Recorded at QCA Recording Studio, Cincinnati, Ohio and Larrabee Sound, Los Angeles, California.
On the basis of the Deele's debut Street Beat, it would have been hard to predict that Babyface and L.A. Reid would change the course of urban R&B during the late '80s and '90s. Though the record -- especially the Top 10 R&B hit "Body Talk" and its two followups, "Just My Luck" and "Surrender" -- is pleasant, synthesized soul and lite funk, it doesn't show many signs of innovation, and only the hit single demonstrate much songcraft. In other words, it's a good, but not extraordinary debut, by two artists who would prove themselves exceptional. ~ Leo Stanley
