Biography
One of two girl groups signed to Ed Wingate and Joanne Jackson's Golden World Records, the Adorables were two set of sisters: Pat and Diane Lewis and Jackie and Betty Winston.

Golden World released three singles by them: Deep Freeze b/w Daddy Please and School's All Over b/w "Be" in 1964 and a final single Ooh Boy b/w Devil in His Eyes in 1965. A consortium of writers working in various combinations, including the Hamilton Brothers (no relation) Bob, Albert, and Ronald aka Ronnie Savoy, Freddie Gorman (the Hamilton's half brother), and Richard Popcorn Wylie, supplied their material. Bob Hamilton sometimes used Flora Blackburn as a writing pseudonym. Gorman was fresh from a stint with Motown where he co-wrote Please Mr. Postman and Forever; at Golden World he co-wrote the Reflections' Just Like Romeo and Julieta and others.

They disbanded after the third single; Pat cut a solo on Golden World entitled Can't Shake It Loose b/w Let's Go Together released in March of 1966, but like the Adorables' singles, it went nowhere. Then without notice, Wingate and Jackson sold everything to Motown Records: masters and artists', producers', and writers' contracts. Gorman, once again, was Motown's property. Pat sang with the Andantes, Motown's premier female backing vocalists. She hit a creative peak with sister Diane, Rose Williams, and Diane Davis with Hot, Buttered, Soul Unlimited, the remarkable singers that accompanied Isaac Hayes during his glory years as Black Moses. Britisher Ian Levine rediscovered Pat in the late '80s and cut her solo and her tracks with the Andantes for his Motor City project. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
