Shirelles - Mama Said (Original Stereo with Concert Intro)
Loading...
Uploaded by Nocaro on Jun 25, 2010
Incredibly it took until 1961 for an all-girl group to reach #1 on the Billboard charts, and these gals from Passaic, New Jersey were the ones with their recording of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". Not long after that, they released "Mama Said", and it went all the way to #4 in the nation in May of '61. . With the likes of Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Burt Bacharach, and Hal David writing for you, how could you fail, and the Shirelles didn't.

Another classic by my favorite group of the time. This tune and "Will You Still Love Me" have to be two of the best songs ever written in any time period. Thanks.

That announcer wasn't from the day! You can't just be able to RAP. It has to be appropriate. That was really stupid! RAP was COOL! PREACHERS, PIMPS, PLAYERS, DJ's were the best!
Real RAP today is done by wrestlers. They learned it from DUSTY RODES! RODES copied Blacks & wrestling SUPER STAR BILLY GRAHAM, GRAHAM imitated Black RAP.

@hijacker050 Never heard that word! Heard Negress! As recent as the 1970s. White business men on TV. Show hosted by FAITH LYLES. NFL's LENNY LYLES wife! They didn't know it was an insult. Just like (I LIKE COLORED PEOPLES). LENNY died last month! At home LOU KY.

Love this song.

@BirdYoshikawa the advantage that the andrews sisters had also was their white skin. when i listened to african american music as a kid i had to do it on the sly, late at night and if i got caught it was an ass kicking. listened anyway.

Beautiful voices, catchy song, every time i hear it i end up singing it for hours in my head. Love it! My momma always said, "if you have nothing nice to say, keep you mouth shut!" I say, if you have nothing nice to say, shut the the pie hole, keep it close, and the next time you stop at the store, pick up some super glue. :)

Shegros were just as vicious back then as today

I thought that 'Maybe' by the all girl Chantels w/Arlene Smith went to #1 in 1958.

@1955emerald As great as "Maybe" was, it only peaked at #15 on the pop charts.

The Andrews Sisters had their first Billboard #1 in 1938. They placed more than a hundred songs on the Billboard charts in the next ten years. So I'm not sure what you're talking about.

@BirdYoshikawa What I'm talking about is often referred to as the original rock and roll era beginning in the year 1955 when Billboard began publishing a "Hot 100".
