abstract:The Shirelles were an American girl group that achieved popularity in the early 1960s. They consisted of schoolmates Shirley Owens (later Shirley Alston-Reeves), Doris Coley (later Doris Kenner-Jackson), Addie "Micki" Harris (later Addie Harris McPherson), and Beverly Lee.
Carole King started writing songs young and found solid success writing songs for artists like Bobby Vee and Dusty Springfield and TheShirelles and Aretha Franklin.
Blur's Graham Coxon performs the track Baby It's You with four female back-up singers to try to replicate the sound of girl group TheShirelles, who first performed the song.
