I really got into these phenomenal girl groups much later, but I knew right away that I was hooked on their sound, the harmonies and the melodies. Actually many of the great bands of the 1960s were influenced, and I mean like The Beatles and the Stones…
The 60’s definitely were the golden age for girl groups… Some of the most popular ones were: The Supremes (no doubt supreme), The Ronettes (my favourite), The Shirelles, The Shangri-Las, Martha and The Vandellas (Absolutely phenomenal), and The Crystals, among others not so famous… These groups like The Marvelettes, The Chiffons, The Angels), created a lasting legacy with songs about love, heartbreak, and teenage life, becoming cultural touchstones. Too bad this musical tendency does not exist anymore. The talent is missing as today mediocrity is hailed as greatness…
So not only did the girl groups influence pop but also R&B…
Hope you like them…
