Archie Bell began singing in Houston night clubs at the age of ten and was influenced at an early age by seeing the performances of Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke. He formed the talented group Archie Bell and the Drells in 1956 while in junior high school. He became known around the world for the hit that he had with the Drells, "Tighten Up". He has pursued a solo career since the breakup of their breakup. Bell later released one solo album (I Never Had It So Good – 1981) on Beckett Records and continued to perform with The Drells off and on for the next twenty years.
