The Jaynetts were a studio group that at one time had maybe 20 voices on one recording, according to history-of-rock.com

In the Bronx, producer/composer and record label owner Zelma 'Zell' Sanders put together Hearts and with extra members formed the studio group The Jaynetts. Some of the members, but not at one time, included Johnnie Louise Richardson, Ethel Davis, Mary Sue Wells, Yvonne Bushell and Ada Ray. The photo that is usually shown with the group Jaynetts may not even be the original singers.

Zell wrote "Sally, Go 'Round The Roses." Abner Spector, producer, worked with the song and wanted a female group. He met The Jaynetts and after recording and recording produced a No. 2 hit on the the charts in 1963.

Richardson, one member of The Jaynetts and Zell's daughter, said that Spector had at one time recorded each female that walked in the studios and had nearly 20 voices on "Sally, Go 'Round The Roses." Richardson put the cost at $60,000. A big price for then.

Sanders moved the label in 1965. The Jaynetts then recorded a number of songs that did not chart. Some of the songs were "Snowman, Snowman" and "Sweet Potato Pie."

One interpretation of  "Sally, Go 'Round The Roses" is that Sally, hiding in a bed of roses, catches the eye of her lover as he is with someone else.

It is said from songfacts.com that it is from an old English nursery rhyme.
