Many nights I go to RUclips 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?
Do it as much as I can. You're not alone. Grew up in the mid and late 60's and remember the music.
I take those sentimental trips all the time!!!
Every chance I get. I bet we have lots of company!
Yes a lot :)
Yes, I do also......... August 27th 2014 I love classics!
I tip my hat to RUclips to still have all of these treasures for people to watch. For all of we oldies still here and that were there then.....thanks.
It’s 2024 and I’m still listening to this and all of the great songs of this era
Me too!! ❤
@@williamcox2940Me too. My mom and dad played it alot and it always filled the house. We had Motown music and the sound of Philadelphia. Right now, I don't feel this whatever they call music now.
@@williamcox2940 agree
Me too!
It's Gonna Take a Miracle, to find another group of women to demonstrate the type of talent, style, and grace, shown by these lovely and dynamic ladies.
Probably wont happen again
I was 13 years old and I blew this out of the water at a community event talent show.. I am 74
Wonderful song. I'm in awe of how beautiful the lead singer is.
So beautiful, another gem from the golden age of soul
This is live. No trick, gimmicks. Just straight talent. What a great song and performance.
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.
I'm 71 now but was a young teen feeling invincible when the Royalettes hit the scene with this timeless gem. Every generation has its own "good old days" and I wouldn't trade mine for anything. 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.
Right on Bill
Born in 1948 and I'd go back to those days in a flash.
Right on, Bruce, right on!!!
@Felix Thomas Felix as you know they are always with you and good times together are relived each time you speak of them. Hold on to them, young brother, in your thoughts and what they taught you in your actions. God bless you and yours...
@Felix Thomas I spent summers from age 7 until 18 at 15th and Oxford in North Philly, a block from the old Columbia Av and the Uptown was 2 1/2 blocks away on Board St. I love everything about Philly, back in the days when I felt invincible...
RUclips is AWESOME HAVING THESE CLASSICS OLD SONG!!
Whew!!! This original version is so strong, it moved me to tears.
Its going to take a miracle from God, to bring talents like these back....sob sob sob..tears............
+Anthony Eugene How right you are! And not just the singers, but the background musicians, too!
+Deborah Dessaso And Deniece Williams took it to another level!!
+Anthony Eugene Teddy's music is still alive. There are several places on the Internet, the web and facebook mostly where you can find it recorded by ImperialsPlusRecords.com, Keith Galliher Jr. Music, Clarence Collins Entertainer and founder of LIttle Anthony & The Imperials, American Music History from the 1920's to the 1970's.
+Deborah Dessaso See what I wrote in response to +Anthony Eugene's comment.
+Anthony Eugene Yes you are right and we are blessed with a miracle that we get to hear these beautiful tunes over and over.....
I LOVE BOTH VERSIONS!!! The Royalettes and Deniece Williams.
@elwin38. I do too. Check out Laura Nero’s version too.
Me too!
@@may5588 that whole album is a banger!
@@may5588 I was wildly in love with Laura Nyro at 13.
like your reply comment I love them it is a nice feeling thanks
I have never heard of this group. I have heard this song by Deniece Williams, The Royalettes must have been the original singers. Very nice, thanks for posting.
Ya (baby)
The 50's and 60's
Individuals and groups had and did it all in music
For this Country and the World ❤
I honestly love both covers of this beautiful song. Thom Bell hopefully wrote this song. You can hear his orchestrations.
Looks like Downtown Philadelphia
Yes they were
@@agm6095 This was filmed in Philly at the shoreline of the river near the bridge between Philadelphia and Trenton, NJ. The big blue bridge at Market St.
What a Classic Song and Beautifully Done By 4 Very Classie Ladies The Royalettes Were Excellent We Just Don't Have Music Like This Anymore God Bless Them Forever More!
These girls are absolutely beautiful , and they nailed this song .
The original from 1965.
The lead singer is simply stunning!❤
Casey Kasem Mentioned This Version, Until Now I Never Heard It. It's Lovely !
Mer-say, I can scarcely believe I'm hearing this classic again! Must've been 5 decades or so since I heard it last. Great! JAT
@@0patience4flz Well, that's a bit out of my range, I live in Europe...JAT
I love it. Makes me sad though.
. Me as well. But I love it
Love the Royalettes rendition as much now as when it first aired in '65.
What a beautiful song .
A TIME-LESS and magnificent lovely voice that stands the test of time !
I want to go back to this time
Their singing and their style was fantastic!!
Her voice is beautiful
It's Gonna Take a Miracle, to find another group of women to demonstrate the type of talent, style, and grace, shown by these lovely and dynamic ladies.
I really like this song right now. The date is December 21st, 2024. Im gonna need a miracle and its best to hear you sing so amazing about it! Thanks for posting the video.
I first heard this beautiful tune as a teenager in Pittsburgh, Pa. It continues to be one of my favorite songs to this day...
was in Pitt today.. heading to nyc now...lol
I thank GOD everyday for RUclips just for these old goodies. They really make my whole day when I find certain songs.
@@Justsyylky me too
Real Music, Real Harmony, Real Memories
Where has soul music like this gone? We need it now.
Try listening to Thee Sinseers, a newer group of younger people with older style sound, lyrics, vocals and production style. Wonderful,!
@@Empien1 Thanks.
@@ubilo we need new groups and singers they were so fantastic!
Aw, great song!! My dad would play oldies like this one! Rest in peace dad🥲🙏
This tune was popular during my HS days, I love these kinds of songs, you can slow dance with a dance with a girl
My black sisters and brothers are beautiful. God bless you. Thank you for the music over all these decades.
the lead singer is so beautiful
her eyes are very expressive and nice smile, too
Exceptionally beautiful. Fall in love
Her name is Tuesday McCain
She is gorgeous!
@@VinylUnboxings Sheila Ross is the lead singer.
@@mrstep2me close enough
As a young teen, back then, cannot express how much this touched my life!
Gotta love the original version !!!!
It's Gonna Take a Miracle, to find another group of women to demonstrate the type of talent, style, and grace, shown by these lovely and dynamic ladies.
Love the Royalettes, this song is one of the best of its' time.
yes for sure
Another hauntingly beautiful song from that era!!!
this was covered alot..but the original shines like the most precious diamond.......the song is genius...
When I am feeling down or just lonely, I hit all the Motown memories back in the day just to feel like I did back then! NEVER FAILS to take me back! This is REAL MUSIC.... by the way I am 70 yrs. old & can still move to the groove! DON'T EVER STOP 🛑 the music 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I'm 69 and I feel the same. Motown and soul music are the bedt
Same way using music to exercise, singing in the morning love ballads
MUSIC DOES HELP...
Yeah, I was born when Harry A-Bomb Truman was president. And I still just love this.
I once read that people of any particular era always think that the music that was popular in their youth was the best. They're wrong. This (ours) was the best. It beats today's fabrications.
@@Unfamous_Buddha YEAH, MAN, WE'VE SEEN IT ALLAND KNOW THE DIFFERENCE...
My Mother told me at a young age "People and Places come and go...but good music stays forever". How True ! 🙂
Thanks Mom....Miss Ya !!!
the brillance of the 60s still shines!!
I am so envious of her singing and beauty
Great song from a great time to grow up listening to all these gems . This was a great slow dance song at the hi school dance on fri. Nite. And my girl loved me holding her tight and right .what good memories. Kd.
The lead singer had some beautiful eyes!
Yes she did! Absolutely mesmerizing and tantalizing! And the way she smiled and swept her head back and forth was very sexy!
She was talented and lovely
I love it when she rolls her eyes to the right to look at the other girls during one of the music breaks. It absolutely drives me crazy and then she smiled
Sheila Ross
She’s Beautiful! ❤️
So beautiful ❤️
I love this song. It reminds me of the passion and love I felt in my innocent heart. The promise of romance was so alluring. It stirs those old emotions after all these years.❤
Nothing is better than the original especially when it is as beautiful as this
It will take a miracle for todays generation to have artists like these!
Cliff Carr ...I second that!
😄
Oh, Cliff. Let the kids be kids.
bitter for no reason, sad life
For todays generation period
One of my all time favorite classics!
This lady could SING !!!!!!
What a BEAUTY !!!
Uh-huh
Crystal clear enunciation which really drives these lyrics home right through my heart like a lance.
Heartbreaking song.....magnificent. Best year of my life 1963
The best. Sheila and her Royalettes singing Tedd Randazzo's fantastic arrangements, melodies, lyrics. Best time in my life. I still tear-up when I hear their sounds. I'm 76. I put their entire It's Gonna Take a Miracle album on my playlist . . . never done that before . . . as they're all priceless. It's been my life. I've been listening since Doo Wop & the beginning of R&R in the 50s.
That's music
Sheila is a great name 😉.
Beautiful Tune, Beautiful Ladies
Each woman in the group especially the lead singer is besutiful
Nothing like a house party and dancing to this sound ... oh yes indeed
Ce1949Ce RIGHT ON
House parties were great back in the late 60's in SoCal. with great music..
Sweet memory Miss Ce......
I’ve known this song since I heard it on a girl group compilation cd in the mid 90’s. Still so elegant and classy. Always will be.
I would love to attend a house party that play this type of music. Idk how to find that.
I was just a little girl when this song was released, nonetheless, my teenage siblings listened to this recorded repeatedly they wore the record out!!!! I was 10, my little classmate boyfriend was 11, we listen to this track over/over on a record player, we thought that we were in love..... LOL
That's such a sweet and beautiful memory😊
At that moment in time you were in love. Sweet memory!
The Royalettes did this song Justice back in 1965. Still the Best version!
Slow dancing in someone's basement. Miss those days
Without question nobody beats Sheila Ross no one
mowestjohn YES. IT IS.
I agree the best!!!
Yes Indeed
such beautiful voices
This record is so achingly beautiful. I love it so much.
What voices and what a song.
Pull up on RUclips...." elegant sound of the Royalettes". Their 2nd album, not your traditional 6cuts per side, 16 songs.... fabulous!
This is the best and the original!
Beautiful ladies singing beautiful music!
MsMalika64 Timeless, lovely song, lovely comment Ms. Malika. How about Jackie Ross' "Selfish One?"
MsMalika64 Gorgeous
MsMalika64 Yes in deed!!!
Robert Munshower I always thought that "Selfish One" was one of the most underrated songs of the 1960s. Jackie Ross's performance on that song was, in a word, spectacular. Yet, the song remains unheralded (and even unheard) by millions of fans of 1960s music. 'Tis a shame.
Charles C Not by Me, I still have My 45 of Jackie's hit!!!!
Oooooch!!!! Sent chills down my spine, when seen the title I said I know Denise Williams killed this song, and I hear you OMG!!! Fantastic and it’s a song worthy of being remade. Salute 🫡
Sheila Ross is absolutely beautiful in voice and appearance......
SoulLegendsRadio
Her hair is fascinating. And look at the dirty skies in New York City! I can't believe the city air was so filthy back then. Environmental laws do work, Mr. Trump! Now you will reverse them all! SHAME!
SoulLegendsRadio YEP!!!!
SoulLegendsRadio yes
Lord, yes. Just imagine if this footage was in color. Lovely.
Hearing this after some years is like stepping outside and feeling the fresh breeze after a storm has passed. Thank you, dear, dear ladles, for this lovely song and memory.
The baseline is slapping on this joint
Yes, it is nice.
Absolutely the best music 50’s 60’s 70’s
This is from my generation when they had real music....... I graduated high school in 1965
Wow but it depended. On where you graduated and what city see i wouldn't mind living in the 60s as a teen but couldn't stand being called the nword half or all the time but i wouldn't mind being in my 20s during the early 70s

Wow then your lucky or made friends in all colors
@@ronaldharris3724 My next door neighbor was black and they were really nice people, there son Peppy hung around us all the time, Across the street was a family of blacks and 3 or 4 other neighbors were black. I guess it was called an intergrated neighborhood, Italians Blacks Irish...
Class of 66. And I love this record!
So magnificent, pure sixties, take me back! but I guess this would take a miracle..
Brian Critchley I see what you did there ;)
We don't get to go back. We can only move forward, but remember the lovely things from the past.
Oh yes! This is the music of my childhood right here! Give me my 60's childhood music anytime!
Every song reminds someone of a place in time. Mine is 1972 AFN Berlin at my grandparents.
Her voice is legendary!!!!!
I never knew this was their song! Until now! My first girlfriend played the Deniece Williams version around 1980, and I've always loved this song.
1982
RIP Robert Weinstein, songwriter, singer and music industry executive, whose hit songs, mostly co-written with Teddy Randazzo, include "Goin' out of my Head", "It's gonna take a miracle", and "I'm on the outside (looking in)"(83) ;-(
This 72 year old black women lady will foreever cherish this tune!
😘
Good. Keep it up! Best wishes.
Thank you Royalletts and Denise Williams for this great 💎😃gem of a song
This version is more dynamic than D. Williams, which is also beautiful, and longer, however, this version, especially the instrumental segment and background harmony is hauntingly beautiful. Thanks for posting!
If it it wasn't for RUclips I would never have known what these girls looked like. So cute! This really is a miracle!
So so classic
Classy
Back in the day, we often had no idea what the singers looked like unless we somehow saw them on TV (which only happened if you were in a major city, because the rural 'one channel' tv station places out in the boondocks didn't show American Bandstand!).
Amazing hidden gem tysm Teddy Randazzo
Just went to our 50 yr H. S. reunion with Veronica Brown and Sheila Ross. These two ladies are still signing locally with church and let me say, they are still beautiful. We talked of our time in school and how our lives turned out. A few drinks, dances and great conversation made for a great time I will remember always. We plan to get together at my home on the Chesapeake Bay for some steamed crabs this summer. Looking forward to seeing them again...
I think Sheila Ross is beautiful my name is really Ron
+Bich ngan Prater --- my real name is Bich
+Jim shaw Glad to hear the update
+Jim shaw Nice to know they're still here and singing! I love them so! We did a talent show in Jr. High in the late 60s and used the name Royalettes! Ha! Say hello to Sheila Ross, and tell her although I love and cherish many different artists, I've always treasured her far beyond the rest. Her sound so pure and authentic.
Jim, do they both still live in the Baltimore area? I would love to meet them sometime. if they are on Facebook, would you let me know? I live in Woodstock, MD about l0 miles from Baltimore.
The original version! The Royalettes from Baltimore, MD. Thanks for posting this sweet gem! Royalettes forever baby!
This captures the longing of what was, and the doubt you can love someone that much, but you do❤
18 year old here to let y'all know we hip to the classics!
My number two song of all times. This Ole Heart of Mine by the Isley Brothers is number 1.
Hello Jacqui 👋…..How are you doing 😊
Just a beautiful song from the early 60’s! The only video on RUclips to include the entire group! All the other videos are of Denise Williams doing a solo performance in the eighties.This by far is the best!
This is the original. I love Denise Williams' cover of it; but this is the Classic!
Class. Pure and simple.
I found this gem on Soul Street on Sirius XM. Beautiful women beautiful voices.
High class👍✌️
love the Royalettes and this rendition of "it's gonna take a miracle"
This bring chills to my soul!
ME TOO, I LOVE THIS SONG, JUST LISTEN TO THE WORDS.
I second that !
Word up in 2021.....✌️
I was born in those times they were great for us listening to Motown!! Great woman looking for equality!!😊)
Motown….the Best !
It's Gonna Take a Miracle, to find another group of women to demonstrate the type of talent, style, and grace, shown by these lovely and dynamic ladies.
OUT OF THIS WORLD WOW!!!.
Love this song
Denise Williams did a really great remix of this same song back in the 80's
Yes, she did. That when I fell in love with her.
By the way, Little Anthony and the Imperials--I believe also made a version.
The Production is the best this is the Standard, got their name from the Theater in Baltimore, called the Royal. In DC it was the Howard, in Philly Uptown, Regal in Chicago, Fox in Detroit.
One of the most rememberable tunes in my lifetime
Classic music makes you go cold superb
there won't be songs like this anymore
There will.We just carry on listening it won't get any better
I was 17 when this song came out--I'm now 67. Guess what--it is still my favorite song. I grew up with Motown, and believe you me, the Supremes, the Marvelettes, and Martha & the
Vandellas never did anything as good as this. I love Motown--but I love this song more.
So what?At least we can still enjoy them.
+Donald Trump We don't need you. We got YT.
+Donald Trump get cancer man
The Royalettes ORIGINAL is ,IMO FAR BETTER than ANY remakes. THOSE versions are just SONGS. The Royalettes' Original version is an EVENT !! There's simply no other way to say it. The Ladies beautifuly full harmonies, coupled with the full symphonic orchestration,and production by Teddy Randazzo and Don Costa and his Orchestra...the way that they ECHO each other on the song's bridge....NO OTHER "Copycat" VERSION even comes CLOSE !!!
Agreed... something hauntingly beautiful about the original version!
That's true with most recordings
These wonderfful ladies were from Baltimore and probably named after the great Royal Theater which was a big part of the Chitlins circuit for black entertainers back in the 50's and 60's
Go Balto!!!!!!!!
