Their musical style was characterized by lush harmonies and emotional, soulful performances, with Sheila Ross's powerful lead vocals setting them apart from other girl groups of the era. The group is best known for their 1965 hit "It's Gonna Take a Miracle", which became a staple of the "girl group" sound. Despite their limited commercial success, The Royalettes' distinctive sound and emotive performances have left a lasting impression on the R&B genre.
