The Best Ritchie Family In Town
David Nathan, Blues & Soul, December 1976
TRULY IN the vanguard of the disco set of entertainers are the three ladies who make up The Ritchie Family. No, they are not sisters and nor do any of them possess the surname "Ritchie". That comes from Philly arranger and producer, Ritchie Rome – one of the gentlemen responsible for the group and its success.
