The Royalettes

The Royalettes

The Royalettes (also credited as Sheila Ross and her Royalettes) were a girl group of the 1960s from Baltimore, Maryland. They were originally signed with Chancellor Records and later Warner Bros. Records, but had their biggest hits under MGM. They were associated with producers Teddy Randazzo of Little Anthony & The Imperials and Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers. They were a quartet that exemplified the "sweet soul" style of the early 60s girl-groups.

Discography

The Royalettes biggest hit was "It's Gonna Take a Miracle" in 1965, but it charted just shy of the Top 40. The song has since had more success as a cover, first by Laura Nyro in 1971 and later by Deniece Williams in 1982 who charted in the Top 10.

The Royalettes had another hit in 1965 with "I Want to Meet Him", but failed to chart after that and broke up shortly after in 1969.

After their breakup, Sheila worked briefly as a backup singer for The Three Degrees.
