The Dontells - In Your Heart
In Your Heart (You Know I’m Right)- 1965, Vee Jay
The Dontells hailed from the west side of Chicago. They were a close harmony soul group who released some really smoochy tracks. They were originally called The Condors but accidentally changed their name to The Dontells during a radio interview when one of the group members said ‘Don’t Tell’ when asked what the group’s name was!
