The Raelettes...

The Raelettes............The hits and the rare ones........

The Raelettes were a girl group in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, formed, as their name suggests, to provide backing vocals for Ray Charles.

Its membership originally consisted of Darlene McCrea, Margie Hendricks, Patricia Lyles, and Gwendolyn Berry. Later members included Mable John, Merry Clayton, Clydie King, Minnie Riperton and Susaye Greene. The 1980s' set of Raelettes included Avis Harrell, Madlyne Qubeck, Estella Yarbrough, Trudy Cohran, Pat Peterson and Alexandra 'Alex' Brown, who had a minor hit with the single "(Come On,) Shout", which was featured on the soundtrack of the movie Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

Although they never gained fame for their singles, they had a number of pop and R&B hits and several have gone on to promising solo careers. According to the biopic Ray, before becoming the Raelettes, the group were known as The Cookies. The group's name was on occasions also spelt as The Raelets or Raeletts.

This one swings mighty hard...........mighty, mighty, sexy vox, here :)

You must be doing alright

Bad water

Come and get it I got it

You have a way with me

Love train

I want to (do everything for you)

Leave my man alone

After loving you

Keep it to yourself

Here I go again

That goes to show you

Let no one hold you

A lover's blues

I'm gettin' long alright

All I need is love

One hurt deserves another

One room paradise

Into something fine

It's alright

Try a little kindness

Many rivers to cross

If you want to keep him

I found my love

Now the hurts on you

My baby

Restless
