Reid describes the naming of the group, "We took our name from our experiences. At first, the group was called Essence, but changed their name to The Deele. Edmonds left his previous group Crowd Pleasers "since they didn't have a recording contract" to join The Deele. Later, Stanley "Stick" Burke (guitar, keyboards) and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds (previously with Tarnished Silver, Manchild, Crowd Pleasers, and April) (vocals, keyboards, guitar) were added. Original members were Darnell "Dee"īristol (vocals,guitar), Carlos "Satin" Greene (vocals), Kevin "Kayo" Roberson (bass), and Antonio "L.A." Reid - nicknamed "L.A." because of the being called "Little Antonio" - other stories say the nickname came from the Los Angeles Dodgers cap he wore or that he got his nickname because of an ant farm he had as a kid, with "L.A." standing for "Little Ant" son of the Exciters' Herb Rooney and Brenda Reid previosuly married to singer Pebbles) (percussion, drums).
