The Royalettes - Love Without An End

[AbeniSisterSnake]

Great Hot Hits of Super Sixties.

Does anyone know what ever happened to these ladies? Are any or all of the Royalettes still living?

@shorty1ification I saw Sheila Ross on September 10, 2011 at the Silver Spring Jazz Festival. She still has a beautiful voice; the audience burst out in applause after she sang only the first verse of "People".

[shorty1ification]

@MikeDial Thank you for letting me know about Ms. Ross; I hope that she is doing well. It's too bad that this group didn't stay in the spotlight, but they were running against some tough competion in those days. I still love the song, It's Gonna Take A Miracle..a classic!!

[Vincent50]

I often what Ms Ross would sound like when she's not singing in her head voice. For her really full voice would sound different from the songs she's been releasing in her high voice. Overall she sounds great and the Royalettes put out some great songs. Too bad they fell to the side because of poor management and push from teh company. The were a fantastic group.

A great track from a marvellous album.

They sound like Dionne Warwick when she sung stuff like "Don't make me over" They never had a hit here in the Uk, but their first album is now a collectors gem. I was given by someone years ago brand new, and I still have it!

A really classy group who had huge arrangements, and you actually sat and listened to these girls sing their hearts out.

As usual, talents who didn't get recognised so they fell by the wayside

This one reminds me of Little Anthony & The Imperials, same composer I believe. So many great voices on vintage 60's recordings/videos added to YT, that listeners never heard until forty years later. We are overwhelmed by store tape loops of MUZAC:Madonna, Elton, Joel, Divas-all a blank to ignore after 2 to 4 Decades in rotation. YT obscurities on store loops would be a welcome relief.

Only in a perfect world...

@movingon4ever Amen to that!

@movingon4ever

Teddy Randazzo wrote AND produced apparently which defeintley explains the Little Anthony comparison.

Royalettes made some quality sides but seem to have fallen off the radar - thanks for everyone who's posted them

Love those ladies! IMO the ladies had class and were beautiful with voices to match.

[kwickster61]

Love those ladies! I have since the mid 60's. I should have chosen the username grayboy.

[karameldreem]

This is a nice song. I love this group my first time hearing this song. I have to see if they have a cd for sale nice group beautiful voices and beautiful women....

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL ALWAYS HAS BEEN

[greyhound7815]

It's around. Go to Amazon or on eBay. That's where I found them

[greyhound7815]

This song is very beautiful. The Royalettes were the right choice. One of my favorites of these cuties.

[snipesyou95]

I've always loved this group. The songs they sang will never die. I would love to hear them again.

[greyhound7815]

I agree you 100 percent. I love this one very much.

[RufusT9]

great soul music from the 60's, and well presented, as are the others too. thanks for posting.

Happened upon their music via Laura Nyro, then i realised that somehow we'd missed out on The Royalettes completely, fools that we are...

[screenwitch]

Pretty voices!

[greyhound7815]

Same here. I love them.

[kpitt1204]

I only know one song by this group, but I have loved everything I have listened to on youtube so far. I reember my cousin having an album by this group, and I used to just stare at the cover. I thought they were so beautiful. Well, they are. I love this song.

[redwalls76]

They were pretty young ladies from Baltimore.They also could sing just wish they had some backing like the Supremes.

[ladyvee7110]

I second that. Great talent such as these ladies has been lost and forgotten because of the media focus on the Motown groups and in particular the Supremes.

[karameldreem]

yeah because they were good singers and beautiful women...

[ninemikemike]

hey, i know ms. anita!!!!!

[drewisdrew4u]

[WillerRemyMa]

I love it!!
