The Del-Vikings, also known as The Dell-Vikings, was an American doo-wop group formed in 1956 by Clarence Quick and other members of the US Air Force stationed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The original lineup included Clarence Quick, Corinthian "Kripp" Johnson, Samuel Patterson, Bernard Robertson, and Don Jackson. Their breakthrough came after winning a talent show in New York, leading to their first recordings with Fee Bee Records. In 1957, they released the single "Come Go With Me", which reached number 5 on the Billboard Top 100 charts and number 2 on the Rhythm-and-Blues charts. The group's success continued with hits like "Whispering Bells" in 1957. However, internal disputes led to a split in May 1957, resulting in two separate groups, one signed to Mercury Records and the other remaining with Fee Bee Records. Despite legal battles over naming rights, The Del-Vikings continued to release music and tour throughout the decades, albeit with changing lineups.
