The Orlons
The Orlons were a popular R&B and vocal group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, best known for their string of early 1960s hits. With a distinctive sound that blended doo-wop harmonies and playful lyrics, they scored major successes with songs like "The Wah-Watusi," "South Street," and "Don't Hang Up." The group originally formed as a female quartet before evolving into a mixed-gender lineup, with lead singer Rosetta Hightower bringing a signature warmth and charisma to their recordings. Their music captured the upbeat energy of the era and helped define the Philadelphia soul and dance craze movements of the '60s. Though their mainstream popularity waned later in the decade, their songs remain beloved oldies, and the group’s impact on the early soul and R&B scene is still celebrated today.
