Rosie And Ron

San Gabriel Valley, California group. "Rosie and Ron" was the recording alias of Lucy Duran (of Chino, California, who sang for the Pomona, California band [a4813114]) and Ralph Valdez, a Hawthorne, California musician. They were signed to Bob Keane's (of [l33098] ) label [l1060277]. Keane chose the alias based off the then-popularity of [a379734] and, depending on whom you ask, either [a266291] or [a1702256]. Their melancholic 1961 flipper [m1309503] was their sole release, and was a fast-seller in the Los Angeles area, leading good-quality copies to become sought-after. The identities of "Rosie" and "Ron" have long been rumored to included [a868669], [a266291], Terri Valenzuela (singer of [a4813114]) and [a4651527] (a songwriter from Pomona, CA who wrote for, among others, [a2342307], [a4813114], and [a2719282]. These mix-ups are understandable given the relatively close association of all aforementioned persons.
