She's So Fine - The Rise Of The Girl Groups 1955-1963 3CD Set

The classic girl group sound didn't appear overnight. It grew directly out of the female Rhythm & Blues and Doo Wop vocal groups of the mid-1950s, where close harmonies, heartfelt lyrics and youthful energy combined to create some of the most memorable records of the Rock 'n' Roll era. She's So Fine - The Rise Of The Girl Groups 1955-1963 traces that remarkable musical journey across an outstanding 95-track, 3CD collection.

Beginning with early pioneers including Shirley Gunter & The Queens, Etta James & The Peaches, The Hearts, The Teen Queens, The Bobbettes and The Chantels, the set follows the gradual emergence of the girl group sound through landmark recordings by The Shirelles, The Marvelettes, The Crystals, The Paris Sisters, The Angels, The Orlons, The Cookies, The Exciters and The Supremes. Along the way you'll hear enduring classics including Maybe, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Please Mr. Postman, He's A Rebel, The Loco-Motion, Chains and Tell Him.

One of the real strengths of this collection is its chronological approach. Rather than simply gathering together the biggest hits, it shows how the raw excitement of 1950s Rhythm & Blues vocal groups gradually developed into the polished productions of the early 1960s. The Doo Wop harmonies never disappear, they simply evolve, making this an endlessly enjoyable listen for anyone with a love of vocal harmony and classic Rock 'n' Roll.

Expertly compiled and beautifully remastered, this superb anthology is both an essential introduction to the girl group era and a fascinating document of one of popular music's most natural musical evolutions. Highly recommended for fans of Doo Wop, Rhythm & Blues, vocal harmony and the golden age of Rock 'n' Roll.
