Beverly Ross

Beverly Ross (born 1939) is an American songwriter and musician who co-wrote several successful pop songs in the 1950s and 1960s. While living in The Bronx as a teenager, Ross began canvassing writers at the Brill Building with some of her song lyrics. The first to be recorded was "Dim, Dim The Lights (I Want Some Atmosphere)", which was co-written with songwriter Julius Dixson. The song was recorded by Bill Haley and His Comets in 1954 and became a hit on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B Songs chart.

In 1958, Ross and Dixson began work on one of their most well-known songs "Lollipop". In addition to co-writing the song, Ross recorded a demo version with Dixson's neighbor, African-American teenager Ronald Gumm. Dixson agreed to let RCA Records release the demo as by "Ronald and Ruby". "Lollipop" reached No. 20 on the Hot 100^[1], but a cover version by the Chordettes peaked at No. 2 and became an international hit.
