They were some guys from Houston, who not only sang, but danced just as good as they walked.
An interesting side note about Archie Bell. He is the older brother of the late
Ricky Bell who was a running back for USC, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ricky was the PAC 8 player of the year in 1976. Bell was the #1 selection in the 1977 NFL draft. He also played for San Diego. He passed in 1984 at the age of 29 from a heart attack brought on by a rare muscle disease.
Ricky and a couple of his teammates would come into the local grocery store I worked at during that time, which was about 2 miles south of the USC campus. Everyone on the evening shift knew who he was. They came in year round. I got to know him casually. He was a good dude.
Two things I'll always remember about him. He was always cordial and friendly, and he was H-U-G-E. If you never saw him play, or don't remember him, a player he closely resembled in speed and style was Franco Harris. BIG, strong, elusive and very fast. The last time I saw him was at a Police and Fire Olympics basketball game in San Diego in 1982. RIP Ricky.
