One of the best early-'60s New York girl groups, combining sassiness and innocence on several of the style's greatest classics. The Chiffons had some singles under their belt when they reached number one with "He's So Fine," whose classic "doo-lang, doo-lang" riff was appropriated by <a href="spotify:artist:7FIoB5PHdrMZVC3q2HE5MS">George Harrison</a> in 1970 for his own chart-topper, "My Sweet Lord" (<a href="spotify:artist:7FIoB5PHdrMZVC3q2HE5MS">Harrison</a> was subsequently ordered to pay substantial damages to the original publishers, though he always claimed the resemblance was unintentional). Their follow-up, <a href="spotify:artist:09KTuJGTA2nISzHxnmYzRv">Goffin</a>-<a href="spotify:artist:6EErJIzXBBSWY7MkH3OaYY">King</a>'s "One Fine Day," was just as good, featuring killer piano riffs from <a href="spotify:artist:6EErJIzXBBSWY7MkH3OaYY">King</a> herself. Actually cut as a <a href="spotify:artist:4S76LQXJD6N2uPcLhKejG8">Little Eva</a> track, the Chiffons' vocal was substituted, resulting in a Top Five hit. There were a couple other memorable hits -- "I Have a Boyfriend" and the Motown-influenced "Sweet Talkin' Guy" -- and interesting misfires like the <a href="spotify:artist:1Pe5hlKMCTULjosqZ6KanP">Martha & the Vandellas</a>-inspired "The Real Thing," as well as some singles issued under an alter ego, the Four Pennies. The group recorded quite a bit of material during the '60s, much of it derivative. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
