Notes:
The Royalettes were a four-girl group from Baltimore, Maryland who exemplified the "sweet soul" style of the mid-60s. The two Ross sisters, Sheila and Anita, formed their musical group while attending high school; They practiced after class with their cousin, Veronica Brown, and friend, Terry Jones. When they began performing together in 1962, the group took its name from the Royal, a local theater.
The Royalettes' biggest hit was "It's Gonna Take a Miracle" in 1965, charting at #41 on the Hot 100 and #28 R&B. The Royalettes had another hit in 1965 with "I Want to Meet Him" (#72 Hot 100, #26 R&B). This LP is the first of just two albums by the group, both of which were produced by Teddy Randazzo who also served as arranger and co-writer on most of the songs. Randazzo gave the group a big production sound with a full orchestra, but despite the overall quality of the tracks and critical acclaim for their live performances, a major success eluded the group. A final single produced by Bill Medley also failed to chart and the group moved on to Roulette Records in 1967 before breaking up two years later. Afterwards, Sheila worked briefly as a backup singer for The Three Degrees and had two solo single releases in the early 1970s.
