ARCHIE LEE BELL, One of seven children born to Langston and Ruthie Bell, In Henderson, Texas. His parents moved to Houston, Texas when he was just four months old. At the age of ten, he began singing professionally; ARCHIE gives praise and credit to GOD and his MOTHER for his unique great gift for singing and entertaining talent. His mother is his mentor. Her spiritual singing at church and home inspired him.

While attending Junior High School, ARCHIE formed a group that assumed a derivative of his own last name called the DRELLS. They were winning almost all the talent shows they entered. Skipper Lee Frazier, a local O.J. from Houston, recognized the great talent and knew this group would become a big success. He was instrumental in helping with their first record “Tighten Up”. It sold 200,000 copies in just two days in New York. The record went gold and the rest is history.

The Drells later changed their name to ARCHIE Bell and The Drells. Their popularity heightened and gained strength when Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Tom Bos produced such tunes as I Cant Stop Dancing, There's Going to Be a showdown and Girl You're too young. The group signed with Philadelphia International Records, which was owned by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. They released such songs as Dance your troubles away. Where will you go when the party is over, hard not to like it and Strategy. With the help of McFadden and Whitehead, the group stayed on the charts year after year.

ARCHIE Bell and The Drells gave their last performance together at Carnegie Hall in New York City. It was time for change, time for ARCHIE to strikeout on his own. He is now a solo artist, writer, arranger and producer.

ARCHIE believes in peace and happiness for all. He loves art and sports of all kinds, a collector of memorabilia and a lover of Mother Nature. Young children are a very deep concern of his because he knows they are our future. He highly respects the wisdom of his elders, especially his Mother.

He has reached the stars, now he is reaching for Mars. You may see ARCHIE Bell on stage or screen and/or listen to him on records and/or radio.
