73, I am starting to worry about you. Maybe you would like an inflatable doll?

Ha

 

[RonBoyd]

Oh! Wait. There is a "girl group" I am a fan of:

Nah, after 44 years DW is doing just fine, only thing is she can't sing.

...( How about the name Jewel for a baby born in the '20s? Only Jewel I ever knew personally ws my Aunt Jewel. I think the name Jewel has gone the way of Elmer and Gertrude)....

Well, there is this Jewel today (her name from birth):

Here's a good one for ya 73ss454. Oh, I've been married to my guy since '74 and can't sing either! Maybe that's why I love watching those who can

 

[Purron]

OK, wait for it...best selling female group in history?

Here's the vid I remember the best. Saucy little British gals:

 

[Sarah in SC]

Whew, I got nothing for you guys from the 60s--only vaguely know of these lovely ladies. Here's the girl bands from my teen years (and with a cool car in the video):

I did hear an interesting interview with Robert Plant on NPR today that talked about the influence of blues music from the US on British bands of the 1960s like Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant: Born In England; Made In America : NPR

Sarah, looks like a 59 or 60 Buick, so you were in your teens at that time and your still working?

 

[Sarah in SC]

You're killing me, 73! I graduated high school in 1988 and dammit, yes, I'm turning 40 this year.

That is an awesome car for sure. I always swore I wouldn't get nostalgic for the sucky 80s music of my teens, but dang if I don't seem to know all the words when I (rarely) listen to the radio and some old REM or Violent Femmes song comes on.

I'm even contemplating an 80's cover band for our St. Pat's party this year...eeek!

I was looking at this and realized that many of the girl singers I really liked in my younger years were not in a group so I thought I would post a couple for comparison.

[73ss454]

Here's one of the great girl singers of all time.

 

[freebird5825]

Hey Ha, does this make you happy? (heh)

You sparked a memory cell...before my time but timeless...

 

[73ss454]

I'm telling you FB, you and HaHa are made for each other.

YouTube - the crystals hes sure the boy i love

Don't any of you miss this stuff?

 

[W2R]

Don't any of you miss this stuff?

Oh man. Do I ever! Thanks for the memories.

 

[73ss454]

Hey, it's the Sunday Night Doo Wop Shop.

 

[73ss454]

YouTube - The Chiffons - I Wonder Why [1963]

I like the way Dion did it better but good for a change. One of the best Rock & Roll songs ever.

YouTube - The Chiffons - Sweet Talking Guy

 

[73ss454]

YouTube - Baby I Love You-The Ronettes

 

[haha]

I like all these girl group ones. These all have swing beats, which I like. The words pretty much put me to sleep, but I never listened to the words anyway.

Good selection 73!

 

[73ss454]

I've never heard the Crystals, Blossoms, and the Ronnetts all on one video. Phil Spector was a genius, too bad he ended up an AH.

Not a girl group but Millie did a lot of songs. This was an oldie in 1973 but it was in color so I thought it would look better.
