Girl Groups

[Purron]

Let's see if we can get 73ss454 to like anything other than 60s girl groups! Yes, we've all tried and tried, but it might be fun to give it a go anyway

My first entry...a girl group from the 40s

Be careful, you may be showing decadism.

Well, I have to admit that I am a huge fan of the 60's girl groups too, and I am not sure I can find a non-sixties girl group that holds a candle to them.

That said, I enjoyed this performance from last year.

REW, that was sweet, I didn't know you cared.

 

[W2R]

oh barf!! I never did care much for the Lennon Sisters' singing. I did have Lennon Sisters paper dolls when I was little, though, so maybe that counts.

Even earlier. The lead guitar work at 1:30 sure sounds like rock to me.

How about my girl-La Slick?

Somebody To Love/White Rabbit Jefferson Airplane - YouTube

 

[harley]

Both great, but we're doing girl groups, not girl leads. Not that I would ever call Sister Rosetta a girl. Ma'am, more likely.

Yes, that's a drift from girl groups to girl leads, guilty as charged. But I would have to call her 'Sister', old habits die hard. (pun unfortunately intended).

I still have to laugh out loud at the line in the Blues Brothers movie - 'we're going to see the Penguin, you promised'
