That's an interesting video. What show was that?

I'm pretty sure that was Dick Clark's Where The Action Is...

The Raiders were on that show a lot.

I couldn't tell if that was The Raiders in that video with The Shangri-Las or just some others guys copying them. Maybe Where the Action Is was where I first laid eyes on Mark Lindsay. I remember being mesmerized by him on TV when I was very little.

Those were The Raiders alright.

It must've been his eyebrows.

I couldn't figure out what you meant at first but then my brain resurrected it from some deep recess.

I feel good, I feel bad,
I feel happy, I feel sad.
You think I'm in love?
I must be in love.

The Shangri-Las took on The Beatles and the rest of The British Invasion in 1964 and 1965 scoring a #1 hit with Leader of the Pack, a #5 hit with Remember (Walking in the Sand) and a couple of top 20s, Not bad for four teenage girls from Queens, New York!

Okay...if you say so! But I was hoping for something non-invasive.

Even though they weren't strictly a girl group, I still think The Exciters deserve a mention here:

"According to Jason Ankeny at AllMusic, the Exciters' version of "Tell Him" "...boasted an intensity that signified a sea change in the presentation and perception of femininity in popular music, paving the way for such tough, sexy acts as the Shangri-Las and the Ronettes." Wikipedia

They started out in 1961, similarly to The Shangri-Las, as a group of girls from Queens who went to school together. By the time they recorded "Tell Him" they had replaced one of the girls with a guy but the sound still is that of a girl group. I love this song!

I remember The Exciters! Great song that Tell Him! I considered them a Girl Group and I found out later that there was a male in the group. He didn't contribute much, just a couple of bass lines here and there.

They never released a big hit after Tell Him. I think groups like The Chantels, The Shirelles, and The Crystals did more to "pave the way" for The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las.

I do give The Exciters a lot of credit for recording Doo Wah Diddy Diddy in 1964...

But it took The British Invasion to turn it into a hit later that year...

Girls that rock...I love it! Those are some great names too. LOL I've heard a band on Pandora that I like but I can't remember their name and I can't find the song. It's about a girl who's out with this guy and she's telling him to either get rid of his wedding ring or go back to his wife, who kicked him out him. I guess you'd have to actually hear it to appreciate it.

Those girls looked good, sang good, and played their own instruments. The world wasn't ready for anything like that in the 60s!

No, it wasn't really ready until the '80's.
