You wanna tighten up in the New Year?
OK then, let’s Tighten Up (video)! You ready? You can do it! uh!
Archie Bell & The Drells, was formed by Archie Bell, and they started soul-funk-tightening up in Houston in 1966. They were picked up by Atlantic Records, who released Tighten Up in January 1968, giving Archie & crew their only RIAA certification (May 22, 1968) and #1 single on Billboard. Hey now!
For sixty years the best in music has been honored with gold and platinum awards. Collectors have enjoyed their visible connection to the music, the artists, and the people who've given us the soundtracks of our life.
Scroll down to AWARD FORMATS and an AWARDS GALLERY to see pictures and stories of hundreds of award types and presentations. I hope you enjoy looking around and that you see and connect with some of the music you've loved.
