Rose Royce (lead vocalist Gwen Dickey, Kenji Brown, Kenny Copeland, Freddie Dunn, Henry Garner, Lequeint Jobe, Michael Moore, Michael Nash and Terry Santiel) included the Norman Whitfield produced "Wishing On A Star" (Billie Rae Calvin) on their second LP, "Rose Royce ll: In Full Bloom". The 1977 single hit the top ten in the U.K. but was not a success on Billboard while the album topped the Billboard R&B chart and reached the pop listing at number nine.

The Cover Girls (lead singer Caroline Jackson, Evelyn Escalera, Margo Urban and Michelle Valentine) version of "Wishing On A Star" from the album "Here It Is" hit number nine on Billboard in 1992.
