The Shirelles were a melodic girl group who paved the way for similar later acts such as The Crystals, The Ronettes and The Supremes. Includes the No. 1 US hits Will You Love Me Tomorrow and Soldier Boy. Their chart hits dried up with the rise of the Motown sound. (US:19)
"Of all the girl groups of the early sixties, The Shirelles were among the best and most important. This compilation shows just how brilliant they were."
"Most people will know Will You Love Me Tomorrow but may not realise how many good songs were recorded by The Shirelles."
"The Shirelles were the first of the rock & roll era black girl groups, singing soulful material with excellent harmonies."
"They pre-dated The Ronettes and The Crystals and were hugely successful in the USA."
"It is clear that The Shirelles were hugely influential."
"I wish music was like this today, Theres no class or heart in today’s sounds."
“The time when talent and music were real."
“Grew up in this era, such a simple and fun time. And totally great music. Being in love in the 60s was so special."
“Timeless - this is music not the rubbish on the radio today. Carole King is a most gifted songwriter and The Shirelles were oh so talented."
