Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose was a family soul singing group from Dania Beach, Florida that attained brief popularity in the early 1970s. The original members were the siblings Carter Cornelius, Eddie Cornelius, and Rose Cornelius. Their sister, Billie Jo Cornelius, was added later.
The group hit the pop charts in 1972, with the singles "Treat Her Like a Lady" (US R&B Top 20, Billboard Hot 100 #5) and "Too Late to Turn Back Now" (US R&B #5, Hot 100 #2).
However, the group failed to find any further success on the scale of their first two singles. Their final charting single was "Since I Found My Baby" in 1974. The group broke up in 1976.
The son of Eddie Cornelius, Edwin Lee Cornelius, was charged with the May 2006 murder of Natalia Allison Holmes in a South Carolina High School parking lot.
