Female soul group from Memphis, Tennessee, U.S. Mary Hunt, Mildred Pratcher and Shirley Thomas were originally known as The Tonettes, that had released two singles at Volt. They changed their name when Nashville's Sound Stage 7 wanted a black female group to record and go out for live performances to promote a studio masterminded hit "(Down At) Papa Joe's" that had been originally released by the white vocal group Anita Kerr Singers. The Dixiebelles had two hits "(Down At) Papa Joe's" (No.9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963) and "Southtown, U.S.A" (No.15 early in 1964), both produced by Bill Justis.
