The Shirelles

The Shirelles were an influential American girl group in the early 1960s. The band formed in New Jersey, and went on to release a string of hits including "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", "Baby It's You", "Soldier Boy", "Dedicated to the One I Love", and "Mama Said". Their "Sha La La" became an international hit when covered by the British group Manfred Mann, and "Boys" was covered by the Beatles (Ringo Starr singing lead). In spite of a lack of hits after the early 1960s, the Shirelles continued recording for a small but devoted audience well into the 1970s. They were eventually inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002.
