Rosa Lee Hawkins, Singer in Iconic '60s Pop Group The Dixie Cups, Dead at 76
Rosa Lee Hawkins, a member of the '60s girl group The Dixie Cups, has died. She was 76.
Her sister and bandmate Barbara Ann Hawkins told The New York Times that Rosa died after experiencing internal bleeding caused by complications related to surgery performed at Tampa General Hospital.
"When the audience smiled and applauded, it made her happy because she knew she put a smile on their faces, if only for that time," Barbara, 78, said of their shared career.
In 1964, the band's iconic single "Chapel of Love" shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, topping The Beatles' "Love Me Do."
