The Orlons are an American R&B group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that formed in 1960. The group won gold discs for three of their singles which sold over a million copies. In 2010, The Orlons became one of first US Top 100-charting groups to have a career spanning 50 years.
The quartet consisted of lead singer Rosetta Hightower (June 23, 1944 – August 2, 2014), Shirley Brickley (December 9, 1944 – October 13, 1977), Marlena Davis (October 4, 1944 – February 27, 1993) and Stephen Caldwell (born November 22, 1942).
Before they became The Orlons, they were an all-girl quintet called Audrey and the Teenettes. They formed in the late 1950s in junior high school and consisted of Hightower, Davis, and three Brickley sisters: Shirley, Jean, and Audrey. However, after the Brickleys' mother did not permit 13-year-old Audrey to sing in certain clubs with the group, she and Jean quit, making the group a trio.
In high school, the group's three remaining members discovered fellow student Stephen Caldwell, who was lead singer of a local group called the Romeos. Impressed, they invited him to join the group in 1960 and named themselves The Orlons as a tongue-in-cheek nod to the friendly rivalry they had with a popular group at their high school, the Cashmeres. (Orlon was a brand name for the widely used synthetic fibre acrylic.)

A predominantly female group from Philadelphia, the Orlons had some dance and novelty gems in the early '60s for Cameo-Parkway. Lead vocalist Rossetta Hightower, Marlena Davis, Steve Caldwell, and Shirley Brickley scored with "The Wah Watusi" in 1962; it was a number five R&B; and number two pop hit, while the follow-ups, "Don't Hang Up" and "South Street," were also Top Ten R&B; and pop successes. "Not Me" was their fourth consecutive R&B; Top Ten winner in 1963, and it peaked at number 12 pop. It was also their last, although "Cross Fire!" reached number 19 on the pop charts. But their other singles fizzled, and Davis and Caldwell left in 1964, replaced by Audrey Brickley. When Hightower moved to England in 1968, the Orlons disbanded. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi PLEASE NOTE: I divided my uploads amon...

Dreaming again
Asleep in my bed
A river of visions
runs through my head.
Strange as it seems
the chaos of dreams
can change the course
and shape of things
He sees with an eye
only open an night
what weaves in the darkness
blossoms in the light
I wake in the morning
thrust without warning
into light all over again
Still chasing pleasure
running from pain
though I know
they're both the same
when the fog pulls away
and I'm here in today
and I can see
my dreams become reality
Since I opened up my eyes
it's time to arise
and show that I'm
not just dreaming, dreaming again.
Hey, Hey, Yeah...
Dreaming, Dreaming again.
Dreaming, Dreaming again.
Dreaming, Dreaming again.
Dreaming, Dreaming again.
