Go Away Baby, The Baby Dolls (1960) “Hi I am an original Baby Doll who is flattered by the positive comments and that our records are being played and recognized by the many viewers of websites. Just a little history on us. The Baby Dolls were a young Black female group that consisted of two sisters. and 2-3 friends that got a record deal with Maske records. I learned that our records were being played on various websites a few months ago, and was surprised that anyone remembered us, but honored that they did.” – Rebecca Warren, via YouTube comments, 2014.
