I was going to say they both had lead singers at one point with the last name Ross. Sheila Ross sang the lead for the Royalettes.

I guess your implication is that Diana Ross is ugly.

You posted those photos like he's suddenly going to go "Oh, I guess she wasn't ugly after all". Lol Not everyone thought/thinks Diana Ross is a good looking woman. Of course she has been held as a standard of beauty for decades, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She looks good to me no matter what era. Still a very beautiful woman approaching 80. She and Mary both are aging very well.

With his past history & postings about Diana, that would be the last thing that I expected ;)

Yes, they both are looking great. Hope the both stay happy and healthy.

Wonderfully surreal to see the two clips side by side on youtube. You're right, she still has the goods, still beautiful and talented 50 years later.

Sheila Ross was a very good looking woman. There's a clip of the Royalettes from Shivaree that I will try to find.

I always liked their song "Baby Are You Putting Me On."

Now, Marv, even you have to admit that Ross is a good looking woman! Or maybe not. Well, anyway...okay to each his own. I don't want to start a flame war!

On a more serious note, one thing I always thought strange about the Royalettes was that they were produced by Teddy Randazzo who also produced Little Anthony & the Imperials. And I always thought the Royalettes lead singer sounded a lot like Little Anthony! Anyone else think so?

luke

I agree Kenneth. Her phrasing is very similar to Anthony.

Kenny, let's not go there.......LOL! Teddy Randazzo was one of the greatest writer/producers in the sixties. He did create a sound like none other.

I hear it the moment she starts to sing "It's Gonna Take A Miracle".

@Marv2, okay, brother! You know best, I guess!

@luke, thanks for your opinion. I found the Royalettes' "Complete"CD recently and really like it. On some of the selections it's uncanny how much the lead sounds like Little Anthony. That collection is amazing...well worth buying.

It does sound like something I'd like own.

Me too! When she sings “Loving you so...”. Just like Anthony

I love when she sings just that part. That part alone is perfection.

You’re right. There’s a certain magic when she sings that! It’s hard to believe it didn’t go top 10.

This is a nicer one where you really get to watch her sing [[well, lip sync). Nice though.

I had to post this. I just happened onto it. A genuine live performance with a magnificent rendition of one of Little Anthony's best songs, "Hurt So Bad."

My favourite Royalettes' track, "I Want to Meet Him", would also have suited Little Anthony's voice.
