One of the best of the early-'60s New York girl groups, the Chiffons combined sassiness and innocence on several of the style's greatest classics, including their number one hit "He's So Fine." (Its classic "doo-lang, doo-lang" riff was appropriated by George Harrison in 1970 for his own chart-topper, "My Sweet Lord"; Harrison was subsequently ordered to pay substantial damages to the original publishers, though he always claimed the resemblance was unintentional.) Their follow-up, Goffin-King's "One Fine Day," was just as good and almost as popular, featuring killer piano riffs from King herself. There were a couple other memorable hits, including "I Have a Boyfriend" and the Motown-influenced "Sweet Talkin' Guy," as well as some singles issued under an alter ego, the Four Pennies. The group recorded quite a bit of material during the '60s, more than most other girl groups.
Members of The Chiffons include, or have included, Connie Harvey.
