During the early to mid 1960’s there was a proliferation of teenage female
vocal singing groups in Top 40 popular music, and many of these groups had
clever and memorable names.

This week Joel Najman’s My Place program
samples a baker’s dozen of these groups, with selections by Angels, Chiffons,
Dixie Cups and many others.
