SHIRELLES, THE - Tonight's The Night

Formed in Passaic, NJ in 1958, the Shirelles were four high school friends who went from their school's talent show to hitting national charts in just a few months. Defining the so-called "girl group" sound with their blend of Doo Wop, R&B and smooth uptown soul music, the Shirelles were the first major all-female group of the whole rock era, and their success was unprecedented and paved the way to legions of imitators. Tonight's The Night, the Shirelles first album, originally released on Scepter in 1961, features an incredible succession of hits such as the title track, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", "Boys" (later made into a standard via a cover by the BEATLES), or "Dedicated To The One I Love".
