Ronnie & the Hi-Lites

Ronnie & The Hi-Lites was a doo-wop musical group from the United States.

They formed in Jersey City, New Jersey in the early 1960s. Their song "I Wish That We Were Married" reached the 1962 Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The group originally called the Cascades, initially consisted of tenors Sonny Caldwell and John Whitney, bass singer Kenny Overby and baritone Stanley Brown. Adding 12-year-old Ronnie Goodson as their lead singer, they were soon introduced to songwriter/producer team Marion & Hal Weiss, who offered them "I Wish That We Were Married".

The small independent record label Joy Records picked up the group’s recording and renamed the ensemble Ronnie & the Hi-Lites. They subsequently released the single and the group went on to record fifteen more singles, without troubling the chart compilers ever again.
