While they capped their early success with sophisticated renditions of traditional tunes, "Dry Bones" and Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," in 1941, they were still singing as the rock era became dominant in the mid-'50s. They appeared on radio shows, including Amos and Andy and the Joan Davis Show, Broadway, in such shows as Sing Out the News and Hot Mikado, and numerous films, including Bing Crosby and Rita Hayworth's first movie, You'll Never Get Rich, in 1941, and Rock and Roll Revue and Rhythm and Blues Revue in 1955. The lengthy list of film shorts in which they appeared include Big Band Parade, Banquet of Melody, Choo Choo Swing, Crazy House, Easy to Look At, Follow the Boys, and Harlem Rock and Roll
The Delta Rhythm Boys were extremely flexible. In addition to recording on their own, with piano accompaniment, the quintet provided background vocals for Charlie Barnet, Mildred Bailey, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ruth Brown.
The origins of the Delta Rhythm Boys trace back to 1934 when vocalists Carl Jones, Traverse Crawford, Kelsey Pharr, and Otha Lee Gaines and pianist/arranger Rene DeKnight were students at Langston University in Langston, OK. Transferring to Dillard University, in New Orleans, in 1936, they worked with Dr. Frederick Hall as the New Orleans Quintet and the Frederick Hall Quintet.
Attracting a large following in Europe and Scandinavia in the early '50s, the Delta Rhythm Boys moved to Europe permanently in 1956. They continued to perform together until the death of Gaines on July 15, 1987.

My dad is the one on the far right. He said they weren't allowed to do all of their songs that night because some were deemed "unsuitable for white audiences". I remember the whole quartet came over one Thanksgiving and sang several songs on the porch. The entire neighborhood ended up coming out to listen. It was a magical evening that I'll never forget.

Bucky Love, what was your father’s name?

I had heard many different versions of Dry Bones, but IMHO, these guys are the ONLY ones who can really carry it off!
@tjh7591
That's my Dad the second from the left. They couldn't express more emotion because in that day they were under strict direction on what a black group could and could not do. Love the song though!
@PeeWeeEssex
T Henderson, they were/are awesome! I love them, and I have to hear more. So special that you have such nice video and audio of your dad. 🥰
