Royalettes - It's Gonna Take A Miracle 

It’s 2024 and I’m still listening to this and all of the great songs of this era

I tip my hat to RU-vid to still have all of these treasures for people to watch. For all of we oldies still here and that were there then.....thanks.

I was 13 years old and I blew this out of the water at a community event talent show.. I am 74

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!

Many nights I go to RU-vid 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?

My black sisters and brothers are beautiful. God bless you. Thank you for the music over all these decades.

Whew!!! This original version is so strong, it moved me to tears.

Wonderful song. I'm in awe of how beautiful the lead singer is.

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.

This is live. No trick, gimmicks. Just straight talent. What a great song and performance.

The lead singer is simply stunning!❤

These girls are absolutely beautiful , and they nailed this song .

Its going to take a miracle from God, to bring talents like these back....sob sob sob..tears............

The baseline is slapping on this joint

This is the best and the original!

Aw, great song!! My dad would play oldies like this one! Rest in peace dad🥲🙏

Love the Royalettes rendition as much now as when it first aired in '65.

such beautiful voices

As a young teen, back then, cannot express how much this touched my life!

The lead singer had some beautiful eyes!

I LOVE BOTH VERSIONS!!! The Royalettes and Deniece Williams.

this was covered alot..but the original shines like the most precious diamond.......the song is genius...

Every song reminds someone of a place in time. Mine is 1972 AFN Berlin at my grandparents.

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 !!!

great song

I thank GOD everyday for RU-vid just for these old goodies. They really make my whole day when I find certain songs.

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) ;-(

Thank you Royalletts and Denise Williams for this great 💎😃gem of a song

What a gorgeous woman.

Yes! Sang y’all they don’t do it😢 like this no more

Yesterday was great because the songs had an essential innocence in them.

Each woman in the group especially the lead singer is besutiful

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.

18 year old here to let y'all know we hip to the 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 !!!

Love the Royalettes, this song is one of the best of its' time.

High class👍✌️

Yes they do Those Where the days Life was simpler and KINDER !

The ORIGINAL VERSION… And THE BEST !!!

I first heard this beautiful tune as a teenager in Pittsburgh, Pa. It continues to be one of my favorite songs to this day...

Legend has it this was the first song Deniece Williams ever sang in a public setting (not counting church).

back when respect was everywhere, black folk did not have bad in them they gave me the peace sign

This tune was popular during my HS days, I love these kinds of songs, you can slow dance with a dance with a girl

the lead singer is so beautiful her eyes are very expressive and nice smile, too

the brillance of the 60s still shines!!

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

Who's watching this video in 2021 and appreciating beautiful, classy and talented women?

A classic soulful song. Today's musicians don't make songs like this .

Should have been a top 10 for them!!

It's 12.20 PM and I'm listening to all the beautiful music of the 60 70 80s that I grew up with and I'm 62 years young

I was born in 1965 and by 5 I was loving Motown Music. Still do there is no comparison to the garbage of most of the music now a days. 2000 was the last time I listened to the radio 📻 😢

It will take a miracle for todays generation to have artists like these!

Those were the days of classy respectful people.....

I'm getting married in three weeks at the age of 63.Life is wonderful....

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.

love the Royalettes and this rendition of "it's gonna take a miracle"

One of my all time favorite classics!

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 🎶🎶🎶🎶

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.

This is from my generation when they had real music....... I graduated high school in 1965

This lady could SING !!!!!!

WoW--1965 this song brings back great memories of my past..Joe D @74yrs old.....

Heartbreaking song.....magnificent. Best year of my life 1963

The best singing ever . Loving memories of my spherical mind-blowing experience 💖 ❤️ Of my life forever to be my love 💓

Just a beautiful song from the early 60’s! The only video on RU-vid 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 captures the longing of what was, and the doubt you can love someone that much, but you do❤

I'm an 80s baby who is fortunate to have a dad with a vintage record collection. As much as I love the 2000s I enjoy Big Band, Nat King Cole, Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Skyliners, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, JP Richardson. Anything that sends you back to the Era of when men wore custom suits and ppl lived life without Facebook and trying to be social media famous. I always said I'd love to invest and open a jazzy night spot that you have to be dressed to the 9s to enter . Piano players, saxophonists, trumpets , drums. Mixture of New Orleans Jazz with Chicago Steppin with Georgia Cooking, with that New York meets LA meets Miami with Harlem Renaissance with a twist of MJ Smooth Criminal Flare and a touch of Janet Jackson's Alright . I can feel it !!! Music is Magic !!!

Very underrated

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.

Beautiful ladies, beautiful song! And the 1965 New York skyline behind them.

I later got to know that Stacy Lattisaw's version was not the original. Never heard of the Royalettes before though but now that I have.....Very talented, beautiful and classy women. 💯

Im 74 and white and in love with this women good nite

When there was natural beauty, class, real talent, and simple gratefulness.

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.

Am I the only person in 2021 still coming back to hear this legendary song! Baltimores own The Royalettes!

My number two song of all times. This Ole Heart of Mine by the Isley Brothers is number 1.

Best music ever ❤️ 2024

I have to respect Teddy Randazzo blending European orchestration with American Doo Wop. You can hear it again with Little Anthony and the Imperials. It was a ground breaking sound worthy of notation. Check out the harp and charming chord progression on the bridge. The production is monumental.

I'm 73. Still love 60s n 70s. Good stuff never ends!

This record is so achingly beautiful. I love it so much. What voices and what a song.

This is when music was music.

The 2 Ross sisters are two of the loveliest girls in rock history, Baltimore’s finest contribution to soul.

This here is a beautiful, beautiful song.

The Royalettes did this song Justice back in 1965. Still the Best version!

OUT OF THIS WORLD WOW!!!.

I'm so fortunate to be born in the '50s & I'm sure you'll all agree with me & each other."There'll never be songs like the OLDIES BUT GOODIES 💖❤🤗🤩😍💗🤪

Be grateful if you were lucky enough to have grown up in this era , I am !

Her voice is amazing!!!

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...

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.

My good buddy from high schools mother was is in the Royalettes. Great sound from Baltimore with the magic of Teddy Randazzo at the production board!

Wow, it’s the best version it will take a miracle for someone to sing as beautiful as Sheila !!

WOW!!! I thought Denise Williams was the original voice behind this song... WOW... Learn something new every day. Love it!

I love that I just discovered this song a few days ago. Today is March thirty-first two thousand twenty-two

I found this gem on Soul Street on Sirius XM. Beautiful women beautiful voices.

To the knuckleheads who Thumbs downed this beautiful song: go play with your little toys.

Nothing like a house party and dancing to this sound ... oh yes indeed

I do this kind of thing all the time. I just click on some beautiful soul music and I'm transported back many, many years . With love.

Adrian Charles' comment below NAILED IT!!!! WHAT SAD TIMES WE LIVE IN. So glad I grew up in 50s and 60s!!!!

2:25 that side glance she does melts my heart. What a beautiful sister.
