Ronald & Ruby were an American pop vocal duo, best known for their 1958 hit single, "Lollipop".
[1] The duo's members were the black Ronald Gumm[2] (or Gumps) and the white Beverly "Ruby" Ross; interracial pop groups were unusual at the time, and the group did not appear in public or in major press and television outlets.
[4] The song was covered to greater chart success by both The Chordettes and The Mudlarks.
Ross continued as a songwriter, recording nearly 200 songs with BMI, including "Candy Man" (for Roy Orbison) and "Judy's Turn to Cry" (for Lesley Gore).
