<description><![CDATA[The Supremes basically ruled the pop charts in the 1960s and don't try to let those Beatles fans tell you otherwise. No other act on the Motown roster was as consistently brilliant on the charts or releasing such sublime pop gems. The key word here is "pop," since that's what Motown did best and that's most certainly what the juggernaut songwriting combo of Holland/Dozier/Holland did like no one before or since. There was nothing especially thought-provoking in their music, but within that glassy back-beat, aerodynamic production and Diana Ross pouring on the vocals like maple syrup, there was total perfection.

<description><![CDATA[Martha and the Vandellas were responsible for some of the best dance music of the 1960s. With Martha Reeves in the lead, the band's sound was slightly grittier than that of the Supremes, and they shined on an array of Holland/Dozier/Holland-penned songs. The musical vibe was often that of an impassioned Reeves calling out tales to a group of her best girlfriends, who responded in kind. That group party feeling carried over to "Dancing In The Streets," a song that was actually an urgent plea disguised as a dance tune: the lyrics were intended to be an inducement to dance in the streets rather than riot, as inner cities exploded in flames in the '60s. "Quicksand," "Nowhere To Run" and countless other songs kept with the Vandellas' trademark feel, and "Heat Wave" is a classic Motown love song that effortlessly captured the urgency of head-over-heels love. The Vandellas continue to regroup every few years.

<description><![CDATA[Mary Wells was on her way to becoming Motown's brightest star when Diana Ross replaced her in their constellation. Whether this was an act of fate or Berry Gordy is still debated by pundits. Wells had a pop voice that could be sweet and alluring at the same time, like Tuesday Weld from <i>Dobie Gillis</i> flowing out of your speakers.

<description><![CDATA[Produced by a young Quincy Jones, Lesley Gore's rendition of "It's My Party" became one of the most commercially successful songs of the Girl Group era. Gore's bratty image sharply contrasted with the stylish, sassy and rebellious personas portrayed by other girl groups. Doubled vocals and lush orchestral arrangements put a pure Pop stamp on Gore's sound. While her other songs weren't as commercially successful, they do show that, when she stepped out of the whiny, weeping teenager role, Gore had bold command over her striking voice.

<description><![CDATA[Their multipart harmonies, polished stage presentation and heavy-handed management made the New York-based Crystals a definitive 1960s group. During their seven years, their first lineup was the finest: Barbara Alston, Mary Thomas, Dee Dee Kenniebrew, Myrna Girard and Patsy Wright. The group was assembled by Alston's uncle, Benny Wells, who helped them get a deal with Phil Spector's Philles Records. The Crystals lit up the charts in 1961 with both sides of their first single, "There's No Other (Like My Baby)" and "Oh, Yeah, Maybe, Baby." Their second release, "Uptown," had the group crooning about loving a boy in the ghetto. Dolores "LaLa" Brooks replaced Girard for 1962's "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)." Though a minor hit, the sales lagged, and Spector, under pressure to release a version of "He's a Rebel" before a competing label, packaged an L.A.-based group (the Blossoms) as the Crystals for the single. Ironically, it scored the Crystals' only No. 1 hit. The original group returned in 1963, though Thomas and Girard had formed the Butterflys. Other memorable singles included "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "Then He Kissed Me," both penned by Spector, Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich.

<description><![CDATA[Girl Groups of the 1960s can be divided into two styles -- those who were prissy and upheld the traditional image of the female, and those who were seen as bad girls. The gum-smacking, motorcycle-riding, leather jacket-wearing Shangri-Las epitomized the latter. They were thrust into the national spotlight in 1964 with the melodramatic ballad "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," and soon after, "Leader of the Pack" -- with its spine-tingling motorcycle samples and an oddly morbid theme -- ensured their place in rock 'n' roll history. George "Shadow" Morton, whose compositions rivaled Phil Spector's own brilliant "little symphonies for the kids," was the genius producer and songwriter behind the Shangri-Las. His songs for them tended to be campy and overly dramatic, whether they were spoken monologues, moody, sobbing songs, lush string orchestrations, dire death numbers or self-confident songs about boys. As with many Girl Groups, the Shangri-Las rose to the top fast but were quickly knocked down by the tidal wave of British bands storming the charts, and they faded into obscurity by the late '60s.

<description><![CDATA[Making music for teenagers in the '60s to fall in love to, the Shirelles laced doo-wop/R&B pop gems with sugary harmonies, lovesick lyrics, and huge orchestral arrangements. Leaders in the Girl Group field, they influenced a bevy of acts with cutesy names like the Dixie Cups, as well as bands with less cutesy names like the Ramones.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Chiffons' sassy flair made them one of the top Girl Groups of the early '60s. With their trademark tight harmonies, high-stepping confidence and the hit machine of Goffin and King writing songs such as "One Fine Day," the Chiffons made music that helped define the Girl Group sound of the era.

<description><![CDATA[The musical roots of this New Orleans family trio began in the same place as so many other girl groups popular in the 1960s: in church. Within a year of being being discovered at a high school talent show, the Dixie Cups had a No. 1 hit with Ellie and Greenwich's "Chapel of Love" -- the first single released on Lieber and Stoller's Red Bird Records. Their tight harmonizing and upbeat pulse, building up to a powerful crescendo, help put the Dixie Cups at the top of the charts. However, like many other girl groups, further success eluded them, for once British groups began invading American charts, the clean and fun Girl Group sound was largely trampled underfoot.

<description><![CDATA[High-class Japanese women take the Girl Group sound of the '60s and run it through a raw, '90s Garage Rock revision. Their screeching vocals are enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck as you tear it up on the dance floor.

<description><![CDATA[When Shonen Knife first appeared stateside in the late 80's/early '90s, no one could decide if they loved them because they played such pure Ramones-style Punk-Pop or because their bad English and pop culture fascination were so darn cute. The cute angle may have become a little tired after three records dedicated to Barbie, furry animals and Jonathan Richman, but the magnetic pull of charged guitar tunes harboring lethal hooks and sticky, confectioner's sugar vocals can still make a first-time listener repeatedly nod their head, a giddy smile plastered to their face.

<description><![CDATA[In their towering black beehive hairdos and dark eye makeup, the Ronettes were a classic mid-'60s girl group with a sultry twist: vulnerable but tough, sexy but sweet. The Ronettes were the first bad girls of rock, a racially undefinable (the Bennetts' mother was black and Native American; their father was white) trio that became producer Phil Spector's most successful act.
<br><br>
All three Ronettes are related: Talley is the cousin of the two Bennett sisters. The trio began singing together as the Darling Sisters. By 1961, they had become featured dancers and vocalists at the Peppermint Lounge, performing a song-and-dance routine inspired by Hank Ballard and Chubby Checker's "Twist." They later appeared with New York City disc jockey Murray the K's rock shows and recorded in 1961 and 1962 for Colpix as Ronnie and the Relatives, then the Ronettes.
<br><br>
Spector signed them to his Philles label in 1963. Smitten with Ronnie, he attempted to sign her as a solo artist, but when the group refused to be broken up, he signed them all. Initially the trio provided background vocals for other Spector productions, including records by Darlene Love and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans. (Earlier in their career, the Ronettes backed up Little Eva, Del Shannon, Bobby Rydell, and Joey Dee, among others.) His first Wall of Sound productions for them were "Baby I Love You" and a song he cowrote with Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, "Be My Baby." That fall it hit Number Two and sold over a million copies.
<br><br>
The Ronettes had other, less successful hits: "Baby I Love You" (Number 24, 1963), "(The Best Part of) Breakin' Up" (Number 39, 1964), "Walking in the Rain" (Number 23, 1964), "Do I Love You?" (Number 34, 1964), "Is This What I Get for Lovin' You?" (Number 75, 1965), and "I Can Hear Music" (Number 100, 1966). In 1964 Spector began managing the group as well, and throughout the group's career Spector's possessiveness and jealousy created problems. For example, when they were set to open for the Beatles on their 1966 U.S. tour, he kept Ronnie at home and had another cousin of hers take her place on the road. By then, the group was near to breaking up. Talley married a New York City radio station–programming director, and Estelle married producer Teddy Vann.
<br><br>
In 1966 Ronnie Bennett married Phil Spector. According to her autobiography, <I>Be My Baby</I>, Spector virtually held her prisoner in their L.A. mansion. They separated in 1973 and divorced in 1974, by which time Ronnie Spector had developed a serious drinking problem that would last several more years. Although Spector had recorded her for A&M in 1969 ("You Came, You Saw, You Conquered") and Apple in 1971 ("Try Some, Buy Some," co-produced with George Harrison), her first solo releases went unnoticed. Ronnie Spector began her long comeback with a 1973 appearance at a rock-revival show with two new Ronettes; she then released two singles on Buddah.
<br><br>
Through the 1970s she later pursued a solo career, inspired by the fact that many notable musicians (including Billy Joel, who wrote "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" for her, and Bruce Springsteen) cited her as an influence. In 1977 Little Steven van Zandt produced her version of "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" (with backing by the E Street Band), but it never charted. She sang on Southside Johnny's debut LP and then cut a solo album in 1980 entitled <I>Siren</I>, produced by Genya Ravan. Ronnie Spector's biggest commercial break came in 1986 when her duet with Eddie Money, "Take Me Home Tonight," the chorus of which reprised "Be My Baby," hit Number Four and became an oft-seen video. In 1986 her autobiography, <I>Be My Baby</I> (written with Vince Waldron) was published. Through the 1980s she also performed as one of the "legendary ladies of rock," along with Martha Reeves, Lesley Gore, Mary Wilson, and others.
<br><br>
Remarried and living in Connecticut with her husband and two sons, Spector returned to recording in the late 1990s. She began touring on punk and indie-rock bills. The hard-edged, guitar-based <I>She Talks to Rainbows</I> featured songs written by Joey Ramone (the EP's co-producer, with whom she also sings a duet), Brian Wilson, and Johnny Thunders. In 2000 a Manhattan judge ordered Phil Spector to pay $3 million, most of it in back royalties, to Ronnie Spector and her fellow Ronettes, but two years later a New York State appeals court reversed the decision, deferring to the group's original 1963 contract. Ronnie Spector resurfaced in 2003 with yet another EP, <I>Something's Gonna Happen</I>, a collection of Marshall Crenshaw songs; she also sang backup vocals on a Misfits album that year. In 2006 she released her third full-length solo album, <I>The Last of the Rock Stars</I>, which included guest appearances from Keith Richards and Patti Smith. In 2007, the Ronettes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

<description><![CDATA[Though Ronnie Spector rose to prominence with the Ronettes, her 1966 marriage to their producer, Phil Spector, seemed to doom her career. Even a solo career in the years following their divorce floundered. But with Joey Ramone behind Spector's newest outing, it's no mistake that this is among the greatest music she has ever made. Many of the New York Punk bands of the '70s, especially the Ramones, built their music on the girl group sound with which they grew up, the sound Ronnie Spector helped pioneer. Spector's newest recordings show she has not lost her magic touch; she shines bright when paired with a producer who understands her sound like Ramone does, and the music here is as absolutely perfect and full as the best of the Ronettes. "Don't Worry, Baby," a song written for her in the '60s by Beach Boy Brian Wilson which Phil Spector never allowed Ronnie to record, is one of the recent songs Spector recorded with Ramone. The others include two songs written by Joey Ramone, "She Talks to Rainbows," and "Bye, Bye Baby." The fourth song is Johnny Thunder's "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory." The past has become part of the future.

<description><![CDATA[As one of Phil Spector's handpicked early-'60s girl-group singers, Darlene Love sang some lead vocals with the Crystals, Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, and also had hits under her own name.
Darlene Wright started singing in 1958 with an L.A. vocal group called the Blossoms. (Her sister Edna later sang with the Honey Cone, which hit big in 1971 with the Number One "Want Ads.") The Blossoms recorded without success as a foursome for Capitol Records between 1958 and 1960, and then as a trio for Challenge and Okeh. They also did backup singing on the L.A. session circuit, supporting Bobby "Boris" Pickett ("Monster Mash"), James Darren ("Goodbye Cruel World"), Bobby Day ("Rockin' Robin"), and many others.
<br><br>
When Love came to Spector's attention, he had her and the Blossoms sing "He's a Rebel," which went Number One in 1962. The producer had originally intended the Gene Pitney composition for the Crystals, and in fact put their name on the record, though they didn't sing a note. Love also sang lead on "He's Sure the Boy I Love" (Number 11, 1963), also falsely credited to the Crystals, and in the short-lived vocal trio Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, who had a hit with "Zip-a-Dee Doo-Dah" (Number Eight pop, Number Seven R&B, 1963), from the Walt Disney movie <i>Song of the South</i>. All of these recordings were on Spector's Philles label.
<br><br>
Love went on to record six Philles singles under her own name, including "Wait Till My Bobby Gets Home" (Number 26, 1963), "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" (Number 39, 1963), and "A Fine Fine Boy" (Number 53, 1963). She also appears on Phil Spector's classic Christmas album. Love continued to sing with the Blossoms throughout the '60s. They were regulars on <i>Shindig</i> and toured with Elvis Presley in the early '70s. Love then sang backup for Dionne Warwick for 10 years, beginning in 1971.
<br><br>
In the '80s the singer branched out into acting, appearing in the <i>Lethal Weapon</i> films and the Broadway show <i>Leader of the Pack</i>. She also recorded two solo albums. Long respected as one of the top vocalists in pop music, Love finally received long-overdue recognition in 1993, when a show based on her career, <i>Portrait of a Singer</i>, opened in January at New York's Bottom Line club. Love performed weekly in the long-running show. In 1996 she participated in the revue 20th-Century Pop with Merry Clayton and Marianne Faithfull. She continues to perform around the country, garnering critical praise for her annual holiday show, <i>Love for the Holidays</i>.
<br><br>
In 1993 Love sued Phil Spector for back royalties; in 1997 a New York Supreme Court jury ruled in her favor but, because of the statute of limitations in New York State, awarded her only $263,500 for royalties going back to 1987. In 1998 the singer published her autobiography, <i>My Name Is Love</i>, and released a gospel album, <i>Unconditional Love</i>.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As the teenage Little Peggy March, she topped the Pop and R&B charts with "I Will Follow Him" in 1962. This one song helped define the pre-Beatles Girl Group sound, but March had trouble getting on the U.S. charts after that. At the height of the hippie movement, she packed up and moved to Germany where she found great success singing in two languages. March is living stateside once again, but we see a nostalgia act where the Germans see a star.
