Ronnie & the Hi-Lites

[1] Initially consisting of tenors Sonny Caldwell and John Whitney, bass singer Kenny Overby and baritone Stanley Brown, the group added 12-year-old Ronnie Goodson as their lead singer.

They subsequently appeared on American Bandstand, at The Apollo and numerous venues throughout the east coast.

"I Wish That We Were Married" is perhaps known for Ronnie's emotional sobbing, adding to the theme of the song.

Ronnie Goodson died in his sleep, from a brain tumor, at the age of 33 on November 4, 1980.
