Love the Shirelles, Chiffons, Crystals, Marvelettes.. all the young teen girls stuff long before a first kiss! The Chantel’s had a hit called Maybe and I was just a mess when I heard that! Every once in a while on Siruis Little Stevie’s Underground Garage, he’ll play some of these groups. Sweet memories for this still young at heart old soul. 🤗
