Girl Group US formé en 1963 à New Orleans (Louisiane). Les Dixie Cups étaient composées de Joan Marie Johnson (née le 15 Janvier 1945), Barbara Ann Hawkins (née le 23 Octobre 1943) et Rosa Lee Hawkins (née le 24 Septembre 1944) . Elles ont enregistré chez Red Bird et ABC-Paramount et se sont séparées en 1966.
A '60s girl group, the Dixie Cups
consisted of one cousin (Joan Marie Johnson) and two sisters (Barbara Ann
Hawkins and Rosa Lee Hawkins). All three young ladies were from New Orleans, as
was producer and singer Joe Jones, who discovered the talented threesome and
took them to New York.
The trio was almost known as the Meltones -- or worse, Little Miss and the
Muffets -- but the name Dixie Cups was settled on by 1964. That was the year the
girls recorded the well-remembered song "Chapel of Love" on the Red Bird Records
label. The number was written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry,
and intended to be released by
the Ronettes, Darlene Love, or
the Crystals. That one single was enough to carry the group into music
history. It became
the Dixie Cups' biggest success, a million-seller, and a worldwide hit. A
few other hits followed through 1964 and into 1965, like "You Should Have Seen
the Way He Looked at Me," "Little Bell," "Iko Iko," and "People Say." A year
later, Red Bird Records was out of the picture. The trio moved to ABC-Paramount,
but there were no more hits, and 1966 saw the end of the Dixie Cups. There had
been other singles, like "Gee the Moon Is Shining Bright" and "Girls Can Tell,"
but there weren't enough fans to back the releases.
In 1974, Rosa Lee and her sister Barbara Ann left New York behind to return to
New Orleans and found work as models for awhile. When the sisters began to sing
and tour again, their cousin Joan Marie declined to join in, so her spot was
filled by Dale Mickle.
