Girl Group US
formé en 1958 au New Jersey, les Shirelles comprenaient: Doris Coley (plus tard
Doris Kenner-Jackson), Addie "Micki" Harris, Shirley Owens (plus tard Shirley
Alston) et Beverly Lee. Leur manager Florence Greenberg forme son propre label: Scepter
Records, et c'est avec celui-ci que les Shirelles vont obtenir leurs plus grands succès.
The Shirelles
were the first major female vocal group of the rock era, defining the so-called
girl group sound with their soft, sweet harmonies and yearning innocence. Their
music was a blend of pop/rock and R&B — especially doo wop and smooth uptown
soul — that appealed to listeners across the board, before Motown ever became a
crossover phenomenon with white audiences. Even if the Shirelles were not
technically the first of their kind, their success was unprecedented, paving the
way for legions of imitators; their inviting musical blueprint had an enduring
influence not just on their immediate followers, but on future generations of
female pop singers, who often updated the style with a more modern sensibility.
What was more, they provided some of the earliest hits for important Brill
Building songwriters like Gerry Goffin & Carole King, Burt Bacharach & Hal
David, and Van McCoy.
The Shirelles were originally formed in 1958 in Passaic, NJ, by four high school
friends: Doris Coley (later Doris Kenner-Jackson), Addie "Micki" Harris, Shirley
Owens (later Shirley Alston), and Beverly Lee. Christening themselves the
Poquellos, the girls wrote a song called "I Met Him on a Sunday" and entered
their school talent show with it. A school friend had them audition for her
mother, Florence Greenberg, who ran a small record label; she was impressed
enough to become the group's manager, and changed their name to the Shirelles by
combining frequent lead singer Owens' first name with doo woppers
the Chantels. The Shirelles' recording
of "I Met Him on a Sunday" was licensed by Decca and climbed into the national
Top 50 in 1958. Two more singles flopped, however, and Decca passed on further
releases. Greenberg instead signed them to her new label, Scepter Records, and
brought in producer Luther Dixon, whose imaginative, sometimes string-heavy
arrangements would help shape the group's signature sound.
"Dedicated to the One I Love" (1959) and "Tonight's the Night" (1960) both
failed to make much of an impact on the pop charts, although the latter was a
Top 20 R&B hit. However, they broke big time with the Goffin-King composition
"Will You Love Me Tomorrow"; released in late 1960, it went all the way to
number one pop, making them the first all-female group of the rock era to
accomplish that feat; it also peaked at number two R&B. Its success helped send
a re-release of "Dedicated to the One I Love" into the Top Five on both the pop
and R&B charts in 1961, and "Mama Said" did the same; a more R&B-flavored outing,
"Big John," also went to number two that year. 1962 continued their run of
success, most notably with "Soldier Boy," a Luther Dixon/Florence Greenberg tune
that became their second pop number one; they also had a Top Ten pop and R&B hit
with "Baby It's You." Unfortunately, Dixon subsequently left the label; the
Shirelles managed to score one more pop/R&B Top Ten with 1963's "Foolish Little
Girl," but found it difficult to maintain their previous level of success.
The group went on to record material for the film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad
World, headlined the first integrated concert show in Alabama, and helped a
young Dionne Warwick get some of her first exposure (subbing for Owens and Coley
when each took a leave of absence to get married). A money dispute with Scepter
tied up their recording schedule for a while in 1964, and although it was
eventually settled, the Shirelles were still bound to a label where their run
was essentially over. Of course, this was also because of the British Invasion,
whose bands were among the first to cover their songs; not only their hits, but
lesser-known items like "Boys" (the Beatles) and "Sha La La" (a hit for Manfred
Mann). The Shirelles scraped the lower reaches of the charts a few more times,
making their last appearance, ironically, with 1967's "Last Minute Miracle."
Doris Kenner left the group the following year to concentrate on raising her
family, and the remaining Shirelles continued as a trio, cutting singles for
Bell, United Artists, and RCA through 1971. The group continued to tour the
oldies circuit, however, and appeared in the 1973 documentary Let the Good
Times Roll. Shirley Alston left for a solo career in 1975, upon which point
Doris Kenner-Jackson returned. Micki Harris died of a heart attack during a
performance in Atlanta on June 10, 1982, upon which point the group went into
what turned out to be a temporary retirement; the three remaining charter
members recorded together for the last time on a 1983 Dionne Warwick record.
Different Shirelles lineups toured the oldies circuit in the '90s, though
Beverly Lee eventually secured the official trademark. They were officially
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Doris Kenner-Jackson
passed away after a bout with breast cancer in Sacramento on February 4, 2000.
