Late '62/early '63 (still a matter of debate) saw the release on Laurie Records of one of the all time classics, He's So Fine. Apparently the song was offered to 14 record labels before Laurie Records agreed to release the disc and the rest, as they say, is history. George Harrison was such a fan of the song that he ripped it off hook line and sinker for his own hit My Sweet Lord. The Chiffons were the archetypal girl group with a classic sound and an almost uninterrupted sequence of hits throughout the 60's and as a nice counter punch to the ex Beatle they briefly reformed in the mid 70's to cover My Sweet Lord.
He's So Fine
Scott,
ReplyDeleteMy all-time favourite girl group record and one of which I never tire! Oldies radio (at least here in Toronto) has been dead for a long while now, so I love to see these classic songs being posted for all to hear.

Cheers!

ReplyDeleteP.S. I just can't run a public blog right now, Scott, so I'm getting ready to open the doors to a private site. Hope you'll drop in when the invites are ready to go out.

Will do Marie, just email over the details. I know this is one of the most famous girl group tunes but hopefully someone out there may not have heard it and discovered something new.
