- The Royalettes sing their beautiful original 1965 recording of "It's Gonna Take A Miracle" (lip-sync). Written by the late great Teddy Randazzo with Bobby Weinstein and Lou Stallman. Arranged and produced by Teddy Randazzo.
As shown on "Where The Action Is", along with "An Affair To Remember" • The Royalettes - An Af...
Many nights I go to TH-cam 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!
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
I tip my hat to TH-cam to still have all of these treasures for people to watch. For all of we oldies still here and that were there then.....thanks.
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 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

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...
Didn't know it was the royalettes sang the original version deniece Williams did the remake they both good
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.
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!
Wonderful song. I'm in awe of how beautiful the lead singer is.
So beautiful, another gem from the golden age of soul
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.
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 was 13 years old and I blew this out of the water at a community event talent show.. I am 74
These girls are absolutely beautiful , and they nailed this song .
The original from 1965.
The lead singer is simply stunning!❤
TAYLOR SWIFT..........THIS IS CALLED REAL MUSIC...........................why can't taylor sing songs like this
Not many people can unfortunately
but she could make NEW HISTORY ..NEW TREND
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 😉.
Whew!!! This original version is so strong, it moved me to tears.
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...
Casey Kasem Mentioned This Version, Until Now I Never Heard It. It's Lovely !
SHEILA ROSS BURNETT SINGS THIS...ISN'T SHE THE BEST
I'm getting married in three weeks at the age of 63.Life is wonderful....
Alright then.
Hey I just made 73 but I still feel like I'm 25
@@Ma1nguy Cool....
Congratulations life is wonderful
@@judyvaughn761 Thank you!
Those were the days of classy respectful people.....
The fruit you see now is the lack of God Fearing Fathers and Husbands in the Home
No you just don't talk to enough people
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.
Aw, great song!! My dad would play oldies like this one! Rest in peace dad🥲🙏
Yes! Sang y’all they don’t do it😢 like this no more
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! ❤️
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.
Gotta love the original version !!!!
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.
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!
Each woman in the group especially the lead singer is besutiful
So beautiful ❤️
If it it wasn't for TH-cam 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!).
hard to believe America back then use to hate those 4 beautiful women simply because of the color of their skin
Yep! And many brainless still do.
Unbelievable
Indeed.@@herbertlewis3105
Jealousy & envy run rampant. Always has, always will!
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 !!!
This tune was popular during my HS days, I love these kinds of songs, you can slow dance with a dance with a girl
What a pretty lady
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
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.❤
This is the best and the original!
The original version! The Royalettes from Baltimore, MD. Thanks for posting this sweet gem! Royalettes forever baby!
such beautiful voices
What a beautiful song .
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.
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 is live. No trick, gimmicks. Just straight talent. What a great song and performance.
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
They weren't " under rated " they were under appreciated . cause how can you under rate a beautiful , talented woman who sang her ass off ... I don't under rate her , I'd rather listen to her than Gaga garbage .
No worries, Lady Blah- Blahs' career is already sunsetting.. a flash in the pan soon forgotten. Whereas, classic soul lives on.
The baseline is slapping on this joint
Yes, it is nice.
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
This lady could SING !!!!!!
What a BEAUTY !!!
Uh-huh
My black sisters and brothers are beautiful. God bless you. Thank you for the music over all these decades.
Beautiful Song By Beautiful Women! Jesus Loves You My Dear Friends! God Bless You Always! John 3:16
Love this song
The best singing ever . Loving memories of my spherical mind-blowing experience 💖 ❤️
Of my life forever to be my love 💓
this was covered alot..but the original shines like the most precious diamond.......the song is genius...
Love the Royalettes rendition as much now as when it first aired in '65.
Good evening my friend
I was born in 1955 to
I never heard of this group to but they sound great in this era to
Today's music 🎶 is like garbage to
Am still listening to this music in august of 2024 to
The ORIGINAL VERSION…
And THE BEST !!!
Wow.....music used to be so beautiful and pure. You actually could understand the lyrics and identify with them,unlike this crap today.
Absolutely! This is what music is supposed to be. A song that tells a story. Not this trash that's out today!
That's exactly what today's music is! Nothing but pure trash! Every time that I go out, I always hear that horrible music blasting right from these car radios. I can't stand today's music! It belongs in the garbage can!
When I was growing up listening to Famous 56, WFIL, here in Philly, my father said that it would "shock his transistors." Well today's music would surely shock my transistors!
@@Lisa-di1wi I didn't any story on this song my boy, listen to dance with the devil by immortal technique, you wont regret it, the story is sad, I recommend you listen to the whole song before judging it
As a young teen, back then, cannot express how much this touched my life!
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!!!!
OMG! The slenderness of those women. Where did we go wrong?
Her hairstyle is called a flip. Lesley Gore also wore that style.
Where di we go wrong? Fast cheap food in large discount quantities and sitting in front of a TV or computer for 15 hours a day. That trend may well reverse itself with the price of food lately.....even at McDonalds.
When you cooked REAL food at home
@@RocBush That's the truth.
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!
This bring chills to my soul!
ME TOO, I LOVE THIS SONG, JUST LISTEN TO THE WORDS.
I second that !
Word up in 2021.....✌️
Best music ever ❤️ 2024
Does the lead singer look a little like Natalie Cole?
A timeless work of musical perfection, just simply lovely, words of poetry sung by angels..
High class👍✌️
The lead singer is Shelia yes she's beautiful.
I thank GOD everyday for TH-cam just for these old goodies. They really make my whole day when I find certain songs.
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

Class of 66. And I love this record!
First time hearing this original version. What a beautiful rendition! Many kudos to all the people at You Tube for this service!
I did too.
What a gorgeous woman.
Im 74 and white and in love with this women good nite
Class. Pure and simple.
Love the Royalettes, this song is one of the best of its' time.
yes for sure
This captures the longing of what was, and the doubt you can love someone that much, but you do❤
This is when music was music.
This is when people were people. You are still a people. Thank you.
those were the days
So beaufiful... and to see them perform it is awesome!
Trash.
Bill D Amen brother 👍🏿
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 😊
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.
Every song reminds someone of a place in time. Mine is 1972 AFN Berlin at my grandparents.
WOW!!! I thought Denise Williams was the original voice behind this song... WOW... Learn something new every day. Love it!
Laura Nyro and La Belle w/Patti Labelle sang this back in 1971. This is the original recorded when I was a high school sophomore in 1966. That's a long time ago!
Love that Laura Nyro version.
I didn't know until I heard it on SoulTown on SiriusXM!
DJ DJ I sampled the Nyro version and made a beat out of it on my page.
Alan Putz I made a sample from the Nyro version on my page.
Yes they do Those Where the days Life was simpler and KINDER !
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
great song
The mileage all in it! I first heard this at a party many years ago and it was swangin !! 😂😂😂😂
One of my all time favorite classics!
It’s a great n needed escape from the world’s insanity!!
it is preciious song
This melancholy song helped me during a difficult period of my life. I remember it fondly, and whenever I hear it nowadays it reminds me that eventually the sun will come out and I'll be happy again. Kisses to you, sweet ladies.
Beautiful Tune, Beautiful Ladies
Learn something new every day. I thought this was actually a Deniece WIlliams song. I didn't know it was a remake.
Yes, this was the original.
Me too😮
Made in the very early 70s
@@doconnor1354 1960s.
Deniece did good cover, but this my fave.
Listen to that ORCHESTRA!!!
It sounds so good even today in 2019
Now 2021 too... timeless
To the knuckleheads who Thumbs downed this beautiful song: go play with your little toys.
Hands down.., Sheila Ross & the Royalettes' original version is better than Laura Nitro & Patti LaBelle's duo, and Denise Williams's re-make. It brings back those L.A. low-ride'n days. Simple with no synthesizers!
The original is definitely great but I love Denise Williams version too.
V Elder Denise put a hurtin on this song, no doubt. The original is great too.
Agreed . It is just Magical
@Elliott Lebron Nah. I give you 'I heard it through the grapevine' as example. The miracles recorded it first. But, Gladys Knight and the Pips released it first. Then last up, Marvin Gaye released the best version and it went right to #1, and has been named one of the top 100 songs of all time. I'm not saying either version isn't great, just that once in a while, a 'cover' can eclipse the first one that was heard.
oh yes - fabulous, lush full production.
Wow, it’s the best version it will take a miracle for someone to sing as beautiful as Sheila !!
Just a beautiful song from the early 60’s! The only video on TH-cam 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!
