It’s pronounced “Shur’-elles”, and yes, girl groups were a thing in the late ‘50s and 60s. The Ronettes, The Shirelles, The Shangri-Las, The Crystals, The Marvelettes, and dozens of other all-female groups of that era were quite popular and played across the airwaves regularly. Also, Diana Ross and the Supremes were absolute stars as well. They, and others, were all part of the soulful Motown sound that still resonates today.
I'm 68. You have to realize that back when this song came out, there was a huge double standard for men and women. If a boy had sex, people thought of him as a cool dude. If a girl had sex, she was thought of as a slut. And abortion was not legal. So if a girl got pregnant, she was branded as a slut and her life was over. She was sent away and her reputation was ruined. So for her to ask for reassurance, will you still love me...this was very important for herto know to take that risk.
I am 82 and love that you are exploring the music of our generation. We had the best music of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Today’s music I can’t listen to.
Class no gimmicks just pure class
I'm a 72 yr. old "Chicano" (Mexican-American) & all the boys & girls "in the hood" (& all across America) grew up listening to this music from "Motown Records".!! The "Oldies but Goodies"..!! It makes me cry...brings tears to my eyes EVERY TIME I hear it.!?! Remembering all the lost youth & INNOCENCE of those days..??? It was a great time for music..!! Not so much Politically & socially...but interesting.!?! Now a days it's getting....."interesting"...again..!!?!!
It’s so nice to see someone of the younger generation appreciate when music artists actually had true talent and songs had meanings.
❤❤❤❤ You deserve more than one red heart for all of those wonderful smiles you gave us today!
You should check out the Platters. They were an amazing group. All their songs were great.
The Shirelles had a string of hits from 1958 - 1964. Among those were "I Met Him on a Sunday" and "Soldier Boy". You might also want to check out "The Ronettes" ("Be My Baby", "Baby I Love You"). There were scores of great singers/groups during that time - you could spend decades just checking them out!
Great reaction! Count me in for more - lots of top notch girl and boy groups in the 1960s, thanks largely to Berry Gordy who set up a production studio called "Motown" in Detroit in 1960 that churned out hit after hit. Motown was the most successful soul music label, with a net worth of $61 million, and between 1960 and 1969, posted 79 records in the top-ten of the Billboard Hot 100. Defintely a deep rabbit hole to explore that I hope you will enjoy!
Back in the '50s & '60s those were called "Big Hair" styles and "Bee-Hive" styles. Look at high school yearbooks from that period and you'll see that nearly all the girls had their hair like that.
Letting the music flow, occasionally gently talking over, saving reactions till the end.. Dream reactor, the best. Good man sir
Another one of the great girl groups from the 50's-60's. They had a lot of great songs such as "I Met Him On A Sunday", "Tonight's The Night", "Dedicated To The One I Love", "Soldier Boy", "Boys", "Mama Said", "Baby It's You", "Foolish Little Girl" etc.
These groups were hugely successful.
In the 60s, that kind of hair style was popular. Back then, natural Black hair was a sure way NOT to be on TV. The 50s and 60s were a very sexist time, yet the TV censors were also very strict. Black girl groups, and Black male groups, were around and became super popular in the 60s when Motown started up. The Shirelles weren't a Motown group. Motown was as big as The Beatles in terms of hits and cultural influence. There is a documentary film called "Hitsville: The Making of Motown" from 2019 that gives a fascinating look at Motown and what it was like for Black groups in the US at the time.
I love this song I remember singing it
Loving the old songs ❤❤❤😊
Always liked this song and I still do! Thank you for reacting to this! Enjoyed your reaction.
Born in the 1980's but my parents were born in the 1950's.
My grandparents were born in the 1900's, 1920's, & 1930 (the year) respectfully.
So I was introduced to a LOT of different eras & kinds of music growing up.
But to answer your question yes, girl groups in the 1950's & 1960's were very popular and in the 1980's & 1990's there was a kind of resurgence of the girl groups.
En Vogue & TLC are two girl groups from the '90's that I listened to that immediately come to mind. There were others like Destiny's Child though admittedly they came a bit later on & I had grown out of my girl group phase by that time.
In the 1980's there was the B-52's. I was just a little- little kid back then. My Mom loved the song "Love Shack" by the B-52's.
Then there is the song "Walk Like An Egyptian" which was a 1980's hit. I forget the name of the girl group.
But going all the way back to the 1940's (World War Two era) there was the famous Andrews Sisters. They were half Greek and half Norwegian and from the American Midwest originally. They were VERY popular back in the day and one of the sisters had a very hushed up affair with the Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana (or whatever his last name was).
The Andrew Sisters were my Mom's Dad's favorite girl group ever. Which makes sense since he was a young man back in those days and had too joined up in the U.S. Army like so many had during war time.
Now my personal favorite song is "Please Mr. Postman" by The Marvelettes. I play the song over and over again haha!
Then you have my Mom's personal favorite, "Da Doo Ron Ron" by The Crystals.
My Dad's favorite, "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes.
My Aunt's favorite, "I Hear A Symphony" by Diana Ross and The Supremes.
My grandmother's favorite, "Baby Love" Diana Ross and The Supremes.
Then you have the family favorites: "Dancing In The Street" by Martha and The Vandellas.
"He's So Fine" by The Chiffons (the tune of which was plagiarized by George Harrison for his song "Oh My Sweet Lord", and before anyone gets mad at me for saying that it was finally ruled in a court of law and George Harrison's estate now owes decades worth of back pay in copyright fees as well as legal fees).
There is also "My Boyfriend's Back" it was originally recorded by The Angels but also recorded by The Chiffons.
Also: The two highest in demand backup girl vocal groups were The Blossoms (of the American West Coast) and The Sweet Inspirations (of the American East Coast). Both groups had backed a good number of music "greats" back in the day from The Righteous Brothers to The Rolling Stones to Tom Jones to Aretha Franklin and others including Elvis Presley.
My apologies my comment is all over the place 🙏
SPLENDID REACTION! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING 💐
Peace ✌, light 🌞, love 💖, & blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
The lead singer’s voice and smile ❤
I'm so glad I chose this song to stop in and check and see, How you are doing? Your smile was magnificent and your pleasure for these young ladies was written all over your face! Remarkable! I loved it and this reaction!
So how are "you" doing? I see your numbers are steadily climbing, congratulations!
Deb
I remember when these girls came on the scene. There were quite a number of girl groups out of Motown. They were very popular! Love your reactions. 😊
The Shirelles were a great group. I wish they had produced more songs
I was youngest of five girls we used to sing a lot of songs from then
Keep going with the 60's girl groups!!! Try ...The Shangri-las..Walking in the Sand and You Can Never Go Home Anymore....or Mary Wells..You Beat Me to the Punch 💞✌️
Great girl group with many hits.
The Girl Groups of the early 60's were a big influence on The Beatles, John and Paul singing in harmony on most their early songs with George backing.
It goes so far as George having a affair with one of the Ronettes. Later in the 70's during Georges solo career he gets hit with a law suit for accidentally plagerizing a song by the Chiffons.
This is the studio version from 1961. The film footage is from 1964.
Great reaction Jay Flex🤍🤍🤍🤍.
I loved this group. This genre of music had us all singing along. The song, I think, was written by Carole King, another artist to check.
Somebody else mentioned a lot of other girl groups. Motown music. Diana Ross and the Supremes were at the top of the pile but a lot of girl bands had #1 hits. Very popular. And the hair was the style of the day and all girls were straightening hair. The people listening are probably on Bandstand which was a great early TV show, began in Philadelphia and moved to New York later. High school kids came to the studios and danced and rated songs and there were always live artists as well as recorded music. You can find some early Bandstand videos.
Thank you. ❤
The Ronettes -Be My Baby
The Chantels- Maybe
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes it's the Shur. Rells This song is Will you still love me tomorrow Carole King did a cover of it but the one you really need to hear is the cover by The BeeGees. Even Carole King said it was best version of this song
That was hair style back then
Worth checking out Metallica Entre the Sandman live in Moscow 1991 with a crowd 1.6 Million Also The Sound of Silence by Disturbed Queen Live Aid truly amazing ❤
It was common to see 1960s singing groups set up this way. Listen to MoTown songs. Fabulous!
Class and we grew up in the church.
The famous composer and singer Carol King wrote this song. Check out You've Got a Friend to start.
I like approach to reacting its different unique I like it
The song was written by Carol King.
SHIR. - ELLES.
Good try though Jay 😂🤣😅
thy were great, there ar emany bands like this, the shangrilas, were also wonderful
Motown! It was great music. In those days, it was more about the music than a show.
My era..all were gorgeous ladies..And knew how act like ladies..Not like now..
This was my favorite 45 in the early 60s when I was a kid. I’d listen to over and over on my portable record player.
This song was written by the great Carole King.
I made a song list of what I think are the essential songs of Old Timers from the 60s and 70s.

Oh yeah.Im officially proud of you.Check out all those Girl groups back then.And try a bit of DooWop as well.I love you by the Volumes is a good place to start.
It will take you years to go through all the genres of great music from just one past decade. Best to choose one decade, and go through the Billboard Top 10 then move out from there. So much music to discover, my man. Have fun😊
"and I won't ask again" must be one of the biggest lies ever sung.
Also do Be My Baby by The Ronettes.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Have you listened to the Beach Boys Good Vibrations? - that is harmony for sure -
It might seem refreshing and wholesome, but the issues in the song are completely relevant today. Is this something serious, or just a one-off hook up? Totally relevant.
This is the Baby Boom era. We wanted more and searched high and low to get it. Our parents were more segregated. We wanted to change the world. That's the context.
Sometimes singing backup is better because harmonizing is more fun (IMO).
Just as good as the temptations at singing but the temptations did dance better😆👍
If you want to hear a great song, react to Haley Reinhart and PostModern Jukebox covering "Creep" by Radiohead. It has over 122 million views. You will be amazed by her unique voice.
There were great black singers at that time, but there was still a great deal of racial discrimination. Turbulent times++!
Try BB King that's wrong little mama, you'll get more hits
Talent doesn’t need gyrations and skimpy clothes.
It's not really wholesome; like women throughout time, they're pointing out that men are known for having a one night stand, and then ignoring the woman afterwards. I'm baffled that you didn't get that.
Umm ...don't talk about hair back then. Look at yours now.
