The Royalettes were one of the classiest American girl groups of the mid-'60s. This compilation offers their entire recorded output for MGM, issued across 1965 and 1966. The thirty tracks include two whole albums plus three non-album singles/B-sides. Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, the quartet consisted of Sheila Ross, her sister Anita, Veronica Brown and Terry Flippen. They performed in the Big Town girl sound style similar to the Channels and Orlons. Many of their MGM recordings were arranged and produced by the legendary Teddy Randazzo. Review: A Wonderful Album! - I also have managed to hang on to the MGM vinyl LP from 1965 and still love it. A few years ago I did transfer it to CD along with four Royalettes 45s and still listen to this CD often. It is that good and well worth adding to your collection - I just don't know why the price is so high. I've heard all but two of the tracks and all are excellent. The other review was right on the money except I believe the album deserves a full 5 star rating. If you love the old girl groups and beautiful music and can justify the price, you're going to love this CD! I can't imagine a more desirable addition to your music collection. Update: 9/28/2005 I finally bought both Import CDs of the Royalettes MGM LPs from 1965-66 - "It's Gonna Take a Miracle" and "The Elegant Sound of the Royalettes". Expensive, but I'm very glad I did! Both CDs were made in Japan so the booklets are in Japanese but fortunately the lyrics are included in English. More importantly, the CD transfer is excellent - I doubt anyone has heard these gems sounding better! Both CDs easily deserve 5 stars. They just are incredible with few weak tracks. Sheila Ross has a powerful and distinctive voice while the backing vocals are perfect. Teddy Randazzo's arrangements are as good as it gets and almost every song is topnotch. I have no idea why The Royalettes didn't have commercial success that rivaled The Supremes and Dionne Warwick. In his review, Larry Jones nailed it with his quote "Historic and criminally underrated music." I wish more people had been like me - I bought all of their singles and the first LP. (Went into the Army in 1966 and unfortunately missed the second LP.) I've copied all 30 tracks to an 80 minute CD-R (they fit with 29 seconds to spare!) and now I can listen to my treasured "It's Gonna Take a Miracle" and new friend "The Elegant Sound of the Royalettes" any time I want. Of course they're on my MP3 player, too. Life is good... Now on to "It's Gonna Take a Miracle" - in my opinion the only weak track is "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind" which is incredible considering that there are 14 tracks! (The original LP has the first 12 tracks while this CD adds the bonus tracks "(He Is) My Man" and "Take My Love (And Hide It From My Heart)" taken from a 1966 single. (Interestingly both bonus songs were written by Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers.) It's hard to think of many albums of any era that have so many great tracks! Eight of the tracks are in mono, the rest are stereo. This has nothing to do with the CD transfer as my 1966 LP is in stereo yet the same tracks play mono no matter what it says on the record jacket. And most singles from the 60s were mono so it's no surprise the bonus tracks are mono. But what a pleasure to hear this terrific music with such fidelity and no pops and clicks! Highly recommended. And if you like the girl groups, this CD is a must-have for your collection. Review: Hidden Jewel - Purchased for the title cut alone because I had not heard any other recordings by the Royalettes, so I took a chance. I am not disappointed. I enjoy each of the other tracks as much as the title cut, and some even more. Where was I and what was I listening to that caused me to miss this? I was being overwhelmed by the Motown Sound which I continue to enjoy to this day. Being consumed by Motown, I overlooked other great girl groups like The Royalettes. The producing/arranging by Teddy Randazzo and sweet sounding vocals of The Royalettes resulted in a royal sound fit for a king. Even the songs that have a hint of a Burt Bacharach sound to them were pleasing to my ear. I liked the entire set of recordings on the first listening which is rare, and each time I listen they sound better. ## Images ![It's Gonna Take a Miracle: Complete MGM Sessions - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hjJh5n6bL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Album! *by Q***N on August 16, 2003* I also have managed to hang on to the MGM vinyl LP from 1965 and still love it.

There are some really good songs on here but not enough. You really have to love this group to make the purchase and sound quality could be a lot better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/14767352-its-gonna-take-a-miracle-complete-mgm-sessions](https://www.desertcart.be/products/14767352-its-gonna-take-a-miracle-complete-mgm-sessions) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
