A predominantly female group from Philadelphia, the Orlons had some dance and novelty gems in the early '60s for Cameo-Parkway. Lead vocalist <a href="spotify:artist:4Ugj09TmFvC1g761Wzo03V">Rossetta Hightower</a>, Marlena Davis, Steve Caldwell, and Shirley Brickley scored with "The Wah Watusi" in 1962; it was a number five R&B and number two pop hit, while the follow-ups, "Don't Hang Up" and "South Street," were also Top Ten R&B and pop successes. "Not Me" was their fourth consecutive R&B Top Ten winner in 1963, and it peaked at number 12 pop. It was also their last, although "Cross Fire!" reached number 19 on the pop charts. But their other singles fizzled, and Davis and Caldwell left in 1964, replaced by Audrey Brickley. When <a href="spotify:artist:4Ugj09TmFvC1g761Wzo03V">Hightower</a> moved to England in 1968, the Orlons disbanded. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
