American girl group, the first to have a number one single on the Billboard Hot 100.
The members of the quartet were Shirley Owens (the main lead singer; later known as Shirley Alston, then Shirley Alston Reeves), Doris Coley (later known as Doris Kenner, then Doris Jackson; who sang lead on \»Dedicated to the One I Love\», \»Welcome Home Baby\», \»Blue Holiday\» and a number of B-sides and album cuts), Beverly Lee, and Addie Harris.
The quartet formed in New Jersey in 1958, and went on to release a string of hits including \»Baby It\’s You\» (written by Burt Bacharach/Mack David/Barney Williams), \»Mama Said\», \»Foolish Little Girl\», and the US #1 Pop hits \»Will You Love Me Tomorrow\» (Gerry Goffin/Carole King) and \»Soldier Boy\» (Florence Greenberg/Luther Dixon). The Shirelles were the first major female vocal group of the rock and roll era, preceding Motown as a crossover phenomenon with white audiences.
