"The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" , the first of her four Warners 45s, had all the makings of a hit record, but unfortunately went on sale the same month as the version by the better known Betty Everett, which made the Top 10.  Before leaving for a solo career in 1962, Ramona King was a member of The Fairlanes of San Francisco, Ca. They recorded the Hit song "Writing This Letter" b/w "Playboy" both written by Ramona.  The group consisted of, Ramona King, brother's Cleo King, Lawrence Thibeaux and Elzie Walker.
