 Girl group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Often in these times, the girl group was used as a vehicle for the latest work by a label's resident songwriters, such as the work of Phil Spector and the early days of Motown.
This group was among the first to sign with a major recording company (1969, Warner Brothers) and record albums released by major lables.
A girl group, as the name implies, is a musical group featuring a group consisting usually of young female singers, singing mostly pop and RandB songs.

 Spectropop's Introduction to the Girl Group sound of the 60s
Girl groups were a constant presence on the Billboard pop charts in 1962 to 1965, but, by 1965 the popularity of this sound was waning as it was eclipsed by other musical trends.
The songs recorded by the girl groups were naive and adolescent, but like the times, the lyrics started to show a yearning for a better way of life.
Although girl group sound was highly theatrical and influenced by records from the Leiber & Stoller school, the productions, arrangements and recordings were becoming more and more textured and full.

 Boys will be Girl Group, or the Johnettes
Of the Beatle songwriters, the influence of Girl Groups is most strongly felt in Lennon and Harrison's material, with a smattering from Paul.
From the Girl Group fans' point of view, then the Beatles were a triple threat: they wrote and performed originals in the style, covered hits from the style, and covered the songs that the Girl Groups covered.
Note too that both John and George are the primary practitioners of Beatle Girl Group tunes, and use Phil as producer on what are generally regarded as their best two solo albums.

English-born girl singer Petula Clark, who'd been recording since the mid-'50s, had recently scored a hit in France with a song called "Chariot" on the Vogue label.
A little of the boy group sound, classical music, and a refreshing collection of melodies that the airwaves were, somehow, denied.
Falling somewhere between traditional pop and R&B, the sound of the Girl Groups was one of the most popular rock & roll genres in the early '60s.

 The Spectropop Girl Group Page. Female pop singers and groups of the 60s
The girl groups sound was one of the most popular rock & roll genres in the early '60s.
The sound drew from earlier and much rawer 50s rock & roll and rhythm & blues records, but the girl group sound had far more polish and sheen than its predecessors, mainly because it was a product of professional record producers and Brill Building songwriters who commandeered the groups and tailored their repertoire.
Fans of the genre consider solo singers such as Lesley Gore and Dusty Springfield to be synonymous with the girl group sound.

 Girl Group Chronicles: Shangri-las
The girls loved the new music that was emerging in the early 60s, and in the typical fashion, they put together a group and started performing around the New York area at dances and parties.
After a series of chart records, and almost constant touring, the girls thought they had a healthy financial situation, but were mostly having fun along the way, and not concerned that they hadn’t received any fiscal news from Red Bird or their management.
Morton brought the girls to the Mercury label in 1967 for a pair of non-charting singles, the better of which,

 Girl Groups, Part Two: The Girl Group Sound
Although vocal groups went somewhat out of favor when the Beatles hit the charts, some girl groups, like the Shangri-Las and the Marvelettes continued to make records in keeping with the original "sound".
This sound later became known as "Girl Group" - a combination of hooky pop innocence, edged with the touch of the inner city.
These girls also recorded multiple albums, many of which are now highly sought after and very expensive since fewer LPs were originally sold.

The group is planning to release a new album in 1998 and go on tour.
With over ten albums and a cult following, it's amazing how this group has only recently received acclaim for their #1 hit "Missing" and their gold album "Amplified Heart." The bands sound had changed throughout their career, beginning with a folksy-accoustic sound and somehow coming to the ambient, drum 'n' base sound they use today.
There is rarely a lull of more than two years before another album is released.

For fans of girls groups and/or Motown music, The Original Marvelettes is a must-read.
Early on, we learn that "Postman's" author, Georgia Dobbins left the group before the song was even recorded, her parents declining to sign their underage daughter's contract with Motown.
In all, the Marvelettes had 10 top-40 hits and survived the mid-1960s British invasion of American pop charts while such classic girl groups as the Shirelles didn't.

Her sweet, melodious tones (David Byrne declared that she had "the voice of an angel") made her an ideal backup singer; in fact, she was multitracked so much on some of her early recordings that she sounded like a one-woman girl group.
MacColl's breakthrough was Billy Bragg's "A New England," which set the standard for the work to come: a lush production, upbeat melody, and a lilting vocal that underscores the plaintive lyric ("I loved you then as I love you still/Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill...
