The Dixie Cups

The Dixie Cups are an American pop music girl group that rose to international fame in the 1960s. Formed in New Orleans, Louisiana, the group originally consisted of sisters Barbara Ann and Rosa Lee Hawkins, along with their cousin Joan Marie Johnson. The Dixie Cups achieved their breakthrough hit with "Chapel of Love," which soared to number one on the Billboard charts in 1964, famously displacing The Beatles from the top slot. The song became emblematic of the era's cheerful pop sound and has since been covered by a multitude of artists, solidifying its place in American music history.

Throughout their heyday, The Dixie Cups enjoyed other chart successes with tracks like "People Say" and "Iko Iko," the latter of which eventually became a New Orleans anthem with its infectious Mardi Gras Indian chants and rhythms. Despite line-up changes and the inevitable ebb and flow of popularity over the decades, The Dixie Cups' music has endured the test of time. The group's most recent releases, such as "Chapel of Love (Sun Records 70th / Mono / Remastered 2022)," showcase the timeless quality of their music and their ongoing appeal. Their live performances, like the one captured in "Dixie Cups - In Concert at Little Darlin's Rock 'n' Roll Palace (Live)," continue to bring the joyful sounds of 60s pop to new audiences, keeping the legacy of The Dixie Cups alive and well.
