BiographyThe Caravelles were a British duo girl band, best known for their 1963 hit single, "You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry". The Caravelles were named after the Sud Aviation Caravelle, a French aircraft.

They could not maintain their success of their hit single, and Lois Wilkinson began recording solo under the name Lois Lane. Andrea Simpson continued to use the band name "The Caravelles" through the 1980s in groups with other musicians, and still performed occasionally into the 1990s.
