The Royalettes

 

The Royalettes were a four-girl group from Baltimore Maryland Baltimore, during the mid-60s. They were originally signed with Philadelphia-based Chancellor Records and later with Warner Bros., but their biggest success came at MGM Records. They worked with producers Teddy Randazzo, who also wrote for Little Anthony & the Imperials in the 1960s, and Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers.
The 60’s girl-group released two albums with MGM Records, produced by Teddy Randazzo who also arranged the records and co-wrote a majority of the songs. Randazzo Incorporated a full orchestra to enhance the production, but despite the Exceptional quality of the songs and critical acclaim for their live performances, a success eluded the group. A final single produced by Bill Medley also failed to chart and the group then signed to Roulette Records in 1967 before breaking up two years later. Sheila Ross worked briefly as a backup singer for The Three Degrees and had two solo single releases in the early 1970s. A CD retrospective was released in late 2010 of all their MGM tracks including the 27 songs produced by Randazzo for the two albums, plus another originally released on a single.
