Great right from the opening bar. This has to be the best Shirelles song of all.

@GGE47 Yeah.. I missed the word "early" when I typed that
-
@Shoknifeman I was refering to the early '60s.The Supremes were the biggest female group of all time,but they didn't have their first big hit "Where Did Our Love Go"until the summer of 1964 which was the mid '60s.

@GGE47 I would say the Supremes
-
The Shirelles were probably the biggest of the girl groups in the early '60s.

@Fiftiesflashback I remember that - I used to listen to WABC (and WMCA):
"#1 in the Nation,
The Scot Muni Show,
ABC is the station on your radio,
The hits are the latest,
Solid gold's the greatest,
The Scot Muni Show."

@allyisful You're so right!!!
Way back in the 60's, the Shirelles recorded this hit with alternate lyrics for WABC-AM Radio NYC's DJ Scott Muni (Scotzo) program introduction. Scott Muni evenually went on to a more sophisticated FM format in the CBS-FM era.
I think of that every time I hear the first few intro bars of the downbeat. Suddenly, I'm 10 years old, again and tuning in for the Top Ten Countdown of for the week's chart busters.
#1 in the Nation
The Scotto Muni Show
The hits are the greatest
