The Bittersweets (1966-1969) was an all girl band formed by Judy Rogers in Dayton, Ohio. The group decided to take their show on the road and found their way to Cleveland where they recorded a 45 for Tema. They cut a charming version of the Talula Babies "Hurtin' Kind" at Audio (a song choice that must have been made by Jimmy Testa) and performed it on Upbeat. Somewhere along the line their name became plural. The original line-up was Judy, Louie, Rosie and Chris. Later, Penny replaced Chris but left in 1967 and returned briefly in 1969. The reformed group included Judy, Penny, Marcia and Marilyn. They would later get exposure on a few reissue compilation albums such as "Girls In The Garage Vol. 1".
