The Original Vandellas

The Original Vandellas have stood the test of time. They have graciously given the world a sound of joy for decades, touched countless spirits and impacted the lives of individuals of all cultures. They have sustained themselves well through the turbulence of the chaotic sixties, the unpredictable bipolarity of the music industry, and the bittersweet realities of life. Through it all, Rosalind and Annette have remained genuine, kind hearted, loving, and an exemplary singing duo to their peers and the multitude of fans they meet. Their music is featured on albums, CDs, in films and motion pictures, on radio and television, and written about and praised in a multitude of publications. Rare and previously unreleased material continues to be unearthed and enjoyed by millions into the 21st century. Inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and recipients of the American Music Award and the Rhythm and Blues Pioneer Award to mention only a few of the honors received, are symbolic of the caliber of success these beautiful and talented ladies have achieved. What would the world have been like without the sweet, sweet sound of the Original Vandellas? Fortunately we will never have to know!
