"IN THE 50'S THROUGH THE 60'S THE SHERILLES AND THE CHANTELS WERE THEE GIRL GROUPS OF THEIR TIME, BUT IN THE EARLY 6O'S OTHER GIRLS CAME ALONG WITH MUCH SUCCESS. AMONGST THESE WERE THE ANGELS("MY BOYFRIEND'S BACK") AND THE CHIFFONS ("HE'S SO FINE") WHOSE BIG HITS WERE OUT AROUND THE SAME TIME.EACH GIRL GROUP HAD A DISTINCT SOUND. THE CHIFFONS WITH THEIR "DOO LANG DOO LANG" AND SWEET HARMONIZATION HAD MANY FOLLOW UPS LIKE "ONE FINE DAY" AND "SWEET TALKING GUY".THEY EVEN REDID SOME OF THE ANGELS RECORDS IN THEIR OWN STYLE. DON'T MISS OUT ON ALL THEIR GREAT C.D.'S, BUT BUY THIS ONE FIRST!"

One Worth Having

"The truth is The Chiffons are only well-remembered in the States for "He's So Fine", "One Fine Day" (with its songwriter Carole King tearing up the piano as a bonus) and "Sweet Talking Guy", but they made a good presentation of songs made famous by others ("Tonight's the Night"-the Shirelles most notably). The price is right to own this collection. A footnote: After George Harrison lost the court decision for "My Sweet Lord" sounding so much like "One Fine Day", he bought the publishing company that owned the rights to "One Fine Day". I say give this one a try."
