Many nights I go to KZread and just click on some of the greatest songs ever created and just listen and escape to a kinder gentler time many years ago. Does anyone do this too?

The two Ross sisters formed their musical group while attending high school in Baltimore. 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 theater located in the 1300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore. Built in 1921, the theater was razed in 1970.

These girls are absolutely beautiful , and they nailed this song .

This song has been copied but the Royalettes cannot be duplicated. Thank you for your contribution to my glory days. You make me feel invincible all over again. That's why the Royalettes' cd is the only female group in my car.
