The Royalettes Only When You're Lonely

- The Royalettes were the classiest of all the girl groups of the 60's. They recorded this with Teddy Randazzo in 1965, but released it as a single in 1966. It appeared on the 'Gonna Take A Miracle' album, but followed the version by Holly Maxwell as a 45. The Royalettes, though perhaps more Pop-Soul, recorded songs that were amazingly as elegant as they were as a group. And Sheila Ross rocks in my book. Hope you enjoy one of my favorite Royalettes tracks.

This is an underated oldie but goodie right here. Glad I stumbled upon it.
One of the most underrated girl groups of all time. 💛
I love this song so much ❤
i can't stop listening to this song so very well done 1960s gold. thanks
Sheila Ross is amazing !
-It never fails, I can always count on finding another gem from the 50's & 60's that just grabs me. Damn those years had the BEST music.
Check out The Joy-Tones "This love"
@@jaimetorres3432 -Love 'em.
Magnificent voice the lead singer of the joy- tones/ from Jamal of essencesof Jamal of DC and McKinley teck high school.
SO CLASSY,SO LOVELY...CAN ONLY GO OLD SCHOOL,DAMN THE 'NEW',OR SHOULD I SAY THE 'FOOL' SCHOOL!!! SONG'S SO TRUE,THEN AND NOW.GOD BLESS LADIES AND THANK YOU.
Dang, the Royalettes should've been bigger. I remember them when I was a kid and their two hits MIracle, and I Want to Meet Him. Wondeful sound and harmonies are out of this world plus Ms. Ross's leads are great and soothing.
correct, Iam surprised we did not hear more of this group in the 60s
They were phenomenal. This track is second-to-none and it is one of my favorites. As a professional musician for over 45 yearsI can honestly say that the royalettes was one of the most outstanding groups of the 1960s and is a female group they were second only to The Supremes. There may be others who would disputemyclaim but I maintain that as a professional musician and record collector I remain steadfast and my belief that the royalettes was second only to The Supremes.
2.31 minutes of pure musical magic
Today is the first time I heard this and I already love it
soul and class
simply fantastic
A classic...😎😍
What a beautiful song!
What a lovely song!
I LIKE the pictures with this video!
these four queens
Classy, melodic, elegant, enchanting that's all I can say when listening to this. I really love this song it is so lovely and pure. I miss that in music. Where is that today? Where did it go? Where's the loveliness? I believe it has been substituted for shallow flesh, and self glorification. Like I heard someone say many years ago "ain't nothing like the real thing baby". The Royalettes and many other of their generation like Martha Reeves and Vandellas, Marvellettes etc have set high standards and I don't think have seen anyone come close to that class. I know nobody was ever perfect, but the shallowness today and the real soul of yesterday are like night and day. I don't know you pookie, but thankt you for putting this up! I hope current artists will understand its not about the body its about the soul.
you're so right, i hope for the same, the love ballards
You got that right junk food for the ears acoustical heroin day don't have any soul because they only have feelings about themselves and no one else
Well stated!
nice song love their dresses on the album cover the pink dresses classy
Beautiful song and beautiful vocals.....why have the girl groups stopped singing like this??!!
So beautiful. Never heard of them. Can’t forget them now. In league with Ruby and the Romantics. 2019 became a fan for forever
the class of the girl groups.
Beautiful song with beautiful pictures. Thanks pghpookie!
Às vezes acho que nasci na época errada. Show!
Sheila's lead, the tight harmony of these girls from my hometown, are always hauntingly beautiful to me...a local disc jockey named Paul "Fat Daddy" Johnson saw the brilliance in the Royalettes, supported their career on his show and through his contacts in music...pghpookie, thank you for posting, including the snapshots of Bmore's yesteryear, when we had all we needed to woo the world.
Beautiful women that sing like Shelia Ross .........Send Me back to 1965........
Gosh, this is a beautiful song. First time hearing it.
Sheila Ross (Royalette's crystal-clear lead) + Teddy Randazzo (arranger/producer) = Perfection.
Same style he used so successfully for Little Anthony & the Imperials.
Just off the Royalette's It's Gonna Take a Miracle CD alone were: It's Gonna Take a Miracle, You Bring Me Down, Never Again, I Want to Meet Him and other gems.
Never be another 60s. So glad I was a part of it.
sure did
She has such a beautiful wonderful voice, beautiful voice, beautiful look, classy singer from Baltimore, always liked her Ms. Brown,s unique voice , lead singer of the royalettes she in there with the other Baltimore greats.: from Jamal Juneau Graham of/ essences of Jamal of DC.
Oldies always make me feel better . I’ll just keep searching for that true love. The soulmate I had thought I found in you .
They had a great great sound love this group, Met Teddy years ago in DC
thanks for watching. i just love the royalettes, so i've posted a few of their things. i can understand your proud feeling, these girls were the class of the girl groups.
Awesome
Great music
Just a beautiful song as mentioned by 'james brown' 4 years ago.
I had wondered if this had made to be a single -- as I was listening to the CD. I see that it did.
I really like the change at 2:02... Just wonderful.
I'm only just discovering the songs of this wonderful group. They weren't played on Australian radio in the 60's (certainly not on the stations I listened to.) Always loved Teddy Randazzo's productions, and I'm thrilled to see so many posted on you tube.
The bridge really makes this song kick, it's one of my favorite tracks as well. Thanks for posting it!
I swear I’ve heard this before, but feel as it’s my first listening to this. Can’t be Deja vu 🤔
love this song
check out 'my man', it's a bill medley song. it has a slightly different feel to it, which is why i put it up. i will be doing some more royalettes soon. they don't get enough recognition.
Thank you for this song love it 😀
I been trying to find this version for a month..I love this one! Are you in Baltimore? Been listening to a lot of Barbara Lewis lately and Lee Moses ..I’m only 37 but this is all I listen to. Thanks so much for uploading this
This is one of my favorite Royalettes tracks, thanks for posting it!
This sounds beautiful and the pictures with them are great. This song should have been a hit! I wish they had more hits besides It's Going to Take a Miracle and I Want to Meet Him!
what a beautiful song
A classic
no negativity taken. both are sooo good in their own way, that's why i posted both. love holly's version as well.
I still have both albums purchased sometime around 1965 and 1966. Played them to death. Everthing on both albums great. Teddy Randazzo was in the catagory of Burt Bacharach,Claus Ogerman and Paul Hardcastle are some of the finest arrangers EVER! Please load anything else that you have by the Royalettes.-cortez4chicago
This is one of my favorite songs! The Royalettes is my 2nd favorite girl group. Shirelles is my number 1!
all of these songs by the royalettes were on a single album that I had, I'm going to get this album again
Spetacular song ...
NICE!!
Wow. I had never heard of this group before. I was listening to Denice Williams song, Its Gonna Take A Miracle. That led to this group. I LOVE these girls. Thanks for posting. I LOVE RUclips !!!!
NICE!
Superb then and magnificent now!-SC3
This song came out in 1966 and I wonder if they ever came out with more music in this year
@misterten2 thank you, i try to use it to give more of an identity to both the group and song. just wish i had more time to find 'vintage' pics. pookie
George?? I'm right with you...well said. The stuff today is junk..pure and simple. Makes you want to shoot something...lol
Hope, these ladies living or estate receive royalties.
I've always loved the Holly Maxwell and never knew The Royalettes did it 'til now. Love it!!! Thanx 4 posting
Daddy C
Glad to follow a MAN of distinction. Next is what we do in CHI off beautiful musicic NOW represented by a home boy up in Detroit!
cortez4chicago
Wow
This so good
I wonder if great songs like this never became hits because they didn't get enough airplay on the radio?
Luv the song and the vid. I'm from Baltimore so I really love the Royalettes, they were out when I was a teen and they really did us proud. The scenes make me homesick as I'm now a 20-yr Miamian. Great songs by singers with real talent is so refreshing to hear after the disco/psychedelic/rap/crap years. I like all kinds of sounds but the music from the 60's/70's is truly unique! Thanks for the posting and keep 'em coming. Peace :)
Vincent50, I strongly agree. This shows they had other good songs besides "It's Gonna Take A Miracle". I wonder if groups like these, male and female, only had one hit records, was because they didn't get enough airplay on the radio?!
This is the music that could have brought us all together, and then came rap, Jay z, and the rest of the (c)rap that promotes the ugly side of humanity. Thankfully, we here, still have dignity, compassion, and an appreciation for beautiful and heartfelt musicianship.

No YOU shut up
Bill Medley sang a song called BROWN EYED woman If you have or rememer ,they say he sang it to Darlene Love, who (enthusiastically) turned down ELVIN for a LAY in the hay!.- cortez4chicag
Listen to Holly Maxwell's version on Constellation...it's even better.
LiverpoolSoul just listened to it. It's good but this is much prettier, sweet melodic vocal and backing.
If MGM Records had played their cards right, they could have had their version of The Supremes!
Firme rola
This is what drive me crazy...and I was a DJ from 76-99. How did we go from gems like this to that crap called 'Mumble Rap" in 2021????
Mad' àJo' ... Mélodie ! le 28/01/18
Other than Lady day the best thing to come out of Baltimore
A great song! But why wasn't it a hit record? Was it because it didn't get enough airplay?!
what beauties WHEN A MAN HAS A LINE OF BS A GIRL HAS TO KNOW WHERE SHE IS HEADING
I LOVE THE ROYALETTES !!! their songs are so classy and beautiful....with Teddy Randazzo's symphonic production. People need to stop covering their tunes with pale imitations.(I'm not mentioning any names).
we'd ride up west san carlos. life was simple, maybe catch a glimpse of armond on a hog.
I love Holly maxwell's version better, no negativity what so ever.
Check out, STEVE STEPPIN IN DETROIT for CHI sound today! We flow every other FRIDAY (Next set 6/13/08)._SC3
Any Chicanos here?
No more ombre by uptones
i couldn't agree more. soooo tired of the mass appeal programed same sounding 'hits' of the day. no variety, little talent, and mindless noise. pookie
Holly Maxwell does it better
