Four black teenagers from the Bronx, New York, took He's So Fine to #1 early in 1963. Their sound was a haunting mixture of mid-50s vocalising and the approaching Motown sound. One Fine Day (June 1963) and Sweet Talkin' Guy (1966) won them more honours, but they did not make it beyond 1966, by which time the girl group era was long(...) by • Artists - C , Music - 1950s • Tags: Girl groups The Chordettes, label-mates of The Everly Brothers, were one of the most successful of the many US Girl Groups of the 1950s, scoring seven US Top 40 hits before 1960.

When the decade of the 50's came to a close there was a great change in popular music. Some of the "Doo Wop" tunes continued, but we began to see more female groups. Many of them, like the Ronettes used Phil Spector's unique "Wall of Sound" in the recording studio. Surf music hit the airwaves, Chubby Checkers taught us how to do the twist and Elvis was still riding high, but he saw some huge competition when the Beatles came to the United States and the British Invasion began.

The Early 60's had some colorful songs like "Alley Oop" (from the weekly comic strip), and unforgettable tunes like "Cathy's Clown" by the Everly Brothers and "Georgia On My Mind" by a young Ray Charles. I was a very young child but I remember the DJ's from WABC, Cousin Brucie, Dan Ingram and Harry Harrison introducing many great pop tunes from that early pre-Beatle era. Some of these tunes were "Traveling Man" in 1961 by Ricky Nelson, who was the son of two famous TV parents "Ozzie and Harriet". That year, another beautiful tune "Runaway" was performed by Del Shannon. Many of my favorite tunes from the early 60's were performed by female artists. Little Peggy March had a number 1 hit at the age of 15 with "I Will Follow Him", and Lesley Gore was 16 when she sang "It's my Party". Both of these songs had memorable choruses and melodies. The Angels sang "My Boyfriends Back" and The Shirelles performed "Soldier Boy" and "Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow" flawlessly.

The Crystals sang "He's A Rebel" and he'll never ever be any good and Little Eva did the very first version of "Loco-Motion". The Shangri-Las did "Leader of the Pack". The Ronette's (featuring the unforgettable voice of Ronnie Spector) performed "Be My Baby". We all have songs that bring back the memories from our childhood more clearly than others. The single song that pulls on my heartstrings and transports me back to this early sound on the radio was "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons in 1963. It is very amusing to me that I originally thought the name of the song was "Doo Lang" until about 5 years later. That song was the first number one hit I can remember enjoying thoroughly and it was mainly due to the wonderful combination of vocal talent by the ladies in the group. The Chiffons were Judy Craig (lead singer), Patricia Bennett, Barbara Lee, and Rita Haynes.

Sylvia Peterson was added to the group in 1963 To this day, "He's So Fine or "Doo Lang Doo lang Doo lang" (LOL), reminds me of everything I loved about 1963: Being at summer camp in New Hamshire, watching baseball and visiting Jones Beach. Before Beatlemania and the British Invasion arrived there were 4 lads from New Jersey who made the early 60's one of the most harmonious eras in the history of music. Franki Valli and the Four Seasons had an effect on me that the Chiffons did a year earlier. They increased my love for this early pop music, and kept me glued to the radio. The Four Seasons had the most wonderful collection of melodies and harmonies played on the airwaves. I enjoyed so many tunes by them that I'll try to keep the list short.

My favorites are "Rag Doll", "Walk Like a Man", "Let's Hang On", "Dawn", "Tell it To the Rain", "Opus 17", "Bye Bye Baby", "Workin' My Way Back to You" and an earlier tune performed by Frank Sinatra, "I've Got You Under My Skin". Another great wave of popular music that originated in Detroit was the Motown sound. It was a style of soul music with a distinct pop influence. Berry Gordy was the founder, and this period spanned 1959-1972. In the 1960s (from 1961 to 1970), Motown had 110 Top Ten hits, performed by artists such as Stevie Wonder , Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Jackson 5, the Temptations Martha and the Vandellas, the Spinners, Jr. Walker & the All Stars and Gladys Knight & the Pips. Once Again it is very difficult to include all of my favorite Motown hits but I will give a shortened list here. "My World is Empty Without You", "Stop!

In The Name of Love" and "Reflections" by Diana Ross and the Supremes. "Bernadette", "Reach Out - I'll Be There", "Standing in the Shadows of Love" by the Four Tops and "The Way You Do the Things You Do", "Ball Of Confusion" and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" by the Temptations are some of the top hits from this enormous influx of music. Finally, 1964 arrived, with the Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show and the wave of British talent coming to the U.S shores, which was known as the British Invasion commenced. The classic British Invasion period was 1964 to 1967 (roughly bracketed by The Beatles' appearance on Ed Sullivan and the emergence of Jimi Hendrix as a U.S.-born superstar who had his first success in the UK), but the term has also been applied to later "waves" of UK artists that had significant impact on the North American entertainment market.

Though generally not credited with starting the "British Invasion," Dusty Springfield was one of the first British artists to have significant success in the U.S., with her hit single "I Only Want To Be With You," released in November 1963. She appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in early 1964 singing the popular hit, and continued to have several U.S. hits through the rest of the decade. A number of songs by British artists reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Beatles' breakthrough in America (starting with the success of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" in early January 1964) triggered a large wave of British artists who succeeded in the U.S. in their wake. A list of these artists included: From London The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, The Who, The Pretty Things, Dusty Springfield, Cream, Petula Clark, The Dave Clark Five, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, and Manfred Mann.

Manchester had The Hollies, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, Freddie and the Dreamers, Davy Jones of The Monkees, and Herman's Hermits; Newcastle was home to The Animals; and Birmingham had The Spencer Davis Group (featuring Steve Winwood) and The Moody Blues. Bands sprang up from Belfast (Them, with frontman Van Morrison), to St Albans (The Zombies), to Essex (The Tremeloes). One other group worthy of particular note is the Liverpool Five,originally from London. I give a more complete list of my favorite tunes from this era in Best Classic Rock Songs The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean had a monopoly on the fast car and surfing music of the 60s with songs like "409", "Surfin Safari", "I Get Around", "Good Vibrations", "Surf City" and "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena".

Other popular groups and solo artists during this period that sprouted up in the middle and towards the end of the 60s were: The Turtles - "Happy Together" and "She'd Rather Be With Me" Tommy James and the Shondells - "Crimson and Clover", "Hanky Panky" Gary Lewis and the Playboys (son of Jerry Lewis) - "This Diamond Ring" Sonny and Cher - "I Got You Babe" The Troggs - "Wild Thing" ( made famous in the movie "Major League") The Righteous Brothers - "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling" (later on performed by another blue eyed soul combo - Hall and Oates) and "Soul and Inspiration" The Mamas and the Papas - "Monday Monday" Simon and Garfunkel - "the Sounds of Silence" and "Mrs.

Robinson" The Young Rascals - "Groovin'" and "People Got to Be Free" Aretha Franklin - "Respect" The Box Tops - "the Letter" Lulu - "To Sir With Love (title song of the Sidney Poitier movie by the same name) The Association - "Windy" and "Cherish" Otis Redding - "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" The Fifth Dimension (with the distinct vocals of Marilyn McCoo) - "Aquarius" Tommy Roe - "Dizzy" Sly and the Family Stone - "Everyday People" This is the tip of the iceberg of the vast collection of Top Music Hits of the 60s which consisted of Doo Wop, pop, soul and the early stages of Classic Rock Music.

Previous to their success, the Motown label was strictly a hardcore rhythm and blues label. After Please Mr. Postman, 1961, became such a success, Motown decided to change their focus to an orchestrated, smoother style--now known as "the Motown sound." Florence Ballard, later famous with the Supremes, served as a "substitute Marvelette" on tour in 1962. She filled in for Wanda Young, who was pregnant. Source: The Original Marvelettes: Motown's Mystery Girl Group by Marc Taylor.

The original name of the Marvelettes was "the Casinyets." The name, created as a joke, meant "the Can't-Sing-Yets" and was created by the girls for a high school talent show. Originally, the Supremes was an entirely different group: all guys! In 1960 and part of 1961, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard and a fourth member, Barbara Martin, were known as the Primettes. They were a female counterpart to a male group, the Primes. The Supremes were an all-male group who hadn't made their mark. Those Supremes added a female lead singer and renamed themselves Ruby and the Romantics. They went on to have a hit with Our Day Will Come in 1963. In 1961, Florence Ballard chose the name "the Supremes" for the girl group. Ross and Wilson were somewhat unhappy with the "masculine-sounding" group name. The other choices of names that didn't make it: the Darleens, the Sweet Ps, the Melodees, the Royaltones, and the Jewelettes.

Shortly after being named "the Supremes," Barbara Martin left the group. Now a trio, the female Supremes were known around Motown as the "no-hit Supremes." They had a string of flops prior to their 1964 hit, Where Did Our Love Go? In the early 1960s, Dionne Warwick recorded an album track written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She hated the song (and one line of lyric in particular) and refused to let it be released as a single. The song did become a smash hit in 1970, making worldwide rock stars out of Karen and Richard Carpenter. The song? Close to You. The objectionable lyric? "They sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue." Martha Reeves and the Vandellas got their group name when Martha Reeves combined the Detroit street name Van Dyke Avenue with the name of Della Reese. Previously, they had been the Del-Phis, and Motown had released one song from them under the name of The Vells.

Time it took girl-group classic songs to be written: Remember (Walkin' in the Sand), 20 minutes Songwriter: George Morton I Love How You Love Me, 15 minutes Songwriters: Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil Artist: The Paris Sisters Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie, from Scotland, was told by her first manager that people simply could not remember her name, it was so long. He twisted her arm into changing it to what we know today...Lulu. Ironically, her hit To Sir With Love, released when she was 18, was number 1 in the U.S. but never charted in the U.K. Lulu had a second number 1 hit, Relight My Fire. Never heard it? That's because it was number 1 in the U.K. when she recorded and released it at age 44. It didn't chart in the U.S. Dee Dee Sharp is widely recognized as having the first logo in the music business. Early on, someone got the creative idea to use a half-note as the "D" of her name and the treble clef as the "S." Remember When...They Were Number One?

But their hair was even bigger!

Two members of the Angels, Peggy Santiglia, and Barbara Allbut, were asked in 1970 to be a part of a group called Dawn that would sing with Tony Orlando. At the time they were wanting to focus on their career as the Angels, so declined, as the group Dawn didn't seem promising. Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent got the jobs.

How about some "tips and tricks" from 1966 to help you lose weight? 1. Make dishes more appealing--sprinkle dried herbs on cottage cheese, serve jelled foods in attractive molds, place boiled eggs in pretty cups. 2. Start a meal with a bowl of burning hot, low-calorie soup. Prolong the eating ritual. Try drinking the soup with a teaspoon. 3. Strawberry ice cream is less fattening than chocolate! 4. Don't let your clothes "bag on you" as you lose weight. "Hey," others might tell you, "look at the way your clothes hang.

You've lost too much weight." In case you aren't scared enough, here's some swell advice from this book: "Gooey ice-cream sundaes, jumbo sodas and other food favorites of some teenagers come dangerously close to the diet that medical researchers use to cause life-shortening obesity in laboratory rats! Remember, "Your pal Penny may boast that she is losing pounds must faster than you by subsisting on pretzels. Angela may insist she is shedding blubber by following that Hollywood diet of nothing but oranges. Or maybe some girls at school have been trimming by consuming yogurt morning, noon and night.

But diet fads can imperil your health and sometimes even be fatal!" And let's see if any of these lines from the book are helpful to your self-esteem as you go on your dieting journey: "When you get into the butterball league, you invite a host of emotional problems." "A fat teenager, as you know, is a slow-moving one." "Worse still, you girls who are tubby may find yourselves playing the dreaded role of wallflower." "Fifteen year old Jeannie has a figure that is beginning to resemble a beach ball, but her mother still thinks that on her it looks cute." "Who would want to marry an elephant?" We were going to contact the author for an exclusive interview, but whoops, he's burning in hell! This gal didn't get much R-E-S-P-E-C-T until she got "soulful" after her girl-group years! Teenagers cried for their album! While the Supremes were the number one girl group in the U.S., Reparata and the Delrons were the number one girl group in most of Europe.

Wonder which brand of makeup the Revlons wore? Bad Girl! Not everyone thought the girl-group songs were so sweet and innocent.

The Lutheran Christian Encounter publishing house released a list of girl-group song themes in 1963, saying that the music inspired an "unhealthy, false and fantasy-oriented way of thinking" because of the point of most of the songs: 1. Things happen to me. I have no control over them and no responsibility for them. 2. Life has no discernible meaning or purpose; it is governed by an inscrutable fate: "What will be, will be." 3. I am alone in this frightening, incomprehensible world. (Although there is safety in conforming with the crowd, this doesn't alleviate my basic insecurity.) 4. If love were to happen to me--your love--all my anxieties would be magically resolved. You, the love object, are so incomparably wonderful (in fact, divine) that I worship you and would do virtually anything to obtain you. 5. If you withhold your love, or if, as fate might decree, you turn it off and give it to someone else, my loneliness and anxiety become unbearable. That about sums it up! © 2001-2015
