Description:

Liner Note Author: Irwin Chusid.
Rhino`s Best of the Girl Groups, Vol. 1 collects 18 of the greatest girl group singles, including the Ad Libs` "The Boy From New York City," Betty Everett`s "The Shoop Shoop Song (It`s In His Kiss)," the Exciters` "He`s Got the Power," and Claudine Clark`s "Party Lights." The Shangri-Las have no less than three of their singles -- "Leader of the Pack," "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," and "Give Him a Great Big Kiss" -- included here, while two of the Shirelles` finest, "Baby It`s You" and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," and the Chiffons` "He`s So Fine" and "One Fine Day" reaffirm why all three acts are among the best girl groups. Most of the style`s big hits, such as the Dixie Cups` "Chapel of Love," are featured, but the lesser-known tracks, like the Jaynetts` "Sally, Go Round the Roses," Evie Sands` "I Can`t Let Go," and Skeeter Davis` "I Can`t Stay Mad at You," keep the collection interesting for more serious fans of girl group pop. A solid, entertaining album, Best of the Girl Groups, Vol. 1 is a must for anyone interested in one of the most distinctive sounds of the `60s. ~ Heather Phares
