Donald & The Delighters - The Elephant Walk - 1963

A rare Chicago Soul record by Donald & The Delighters, from 1963. This is a superb, rare soul record. Donald and the group were together for eight years before they hit big with this record. The group consisted of Ronald Strong, Walter Granger, William Taylor and Donald Jenkins. Some of these guys also sang with Dee Clark in an unrecorded group, The Hambone Kids. The song peaked at #64. The group broke up in the early 1970's.

This is a rare song, that probably many people don't know about, even many baby boomers. My ex vietnam veteran boyfriend of back then turned me on to it. Very nice song!
