Tucked in between the 1960s roaring sounds of rock and roll artists such as, Chuck Berry & Jerry Lee Lewis and the rise of The British Invasion was the phenomenon better known as, “Girl Groups”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Girl groups were composed of three to four young women joined together creating rich harmonies along with passionate lead vocals that sang about \u201cthe perfect guy\u201d and \u201cteenage romance\u201d. This new wave of music was embraced by many audiences and this distinct sound had found their way to the top of the charts – which had previously been dominated by male artists. Groups such as The Shirelles, The Ronettes, The Shangri-Las, The Chiffons, and many others had risen to popularity during the 1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the scene was shifting and females were making their way on the charts, along came a new era of female songwriters. Songwriters such as\u00a0Carole King, who wrote the 1963 hit \u201cOne Fine Day\u201d, Ellie Greenwich, who wrote “Be My Baby,\u201d Cynthia Weil, who wrote \u201cWalking in the Rain\u201d, and more were making their way to the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
