Their hits include “La La Means I Love You,” “You Get Yours, I’ll Get Mine,” “I’m Sorry” and “Ready or Not.” In 1971, The Delfonics were awarded a Grammy for the single, “Didn’t I.” Not only were the Delfonics known for their smooth singing and rich harmony, they also gained fame for magnificent choreography.
