Ronald & Ruby

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.[3] They had previously worked together as songwriters; among their credits are "Young and Hungry for Love", "Frankenstein Rock", "Fat Pat", "Soul Mates", "Don't Come to My Party", and "The Ghost of Love".[1] In 1958, they released a single together entitled "Lollipop". It became a hit in the U.S., reaching No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] The song was covered to greater chart success by both The Chordettes and The Mudlarks.[1]

They released several further singles, including "Love Birds", none of them hits. 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).[1]
