I liked them better in the early 60s when everything they said in interviews was funny! Klas - How could I leave out the Girl Groups?! Some of those songs by the Crystals, Ronnettes, and Shangri-la's send shivers down my spine. They were the important link between Doo Wop and the Motown Sound. And the songwriting was amazing.
