Sure I sound like an LCD Soundsystem song, “I was there, I was there…” . The difference is, how cool dya consider this?
I was at Town Hall (in the front row) when the Shirelles played there as part of a 60s in revue thingy.
I consider watching the original singers behing “Mama Said”. “Soldier Boy” ” Dedicated To The One I Love”, and, of course, “Baby, It’s You” a badge of honor.
And if you don’t believe go wow, the news that there is a Shirelles jukebox musical coming to Broadway this Spring may not make you leap about with joy.

“Get ready for the Jersey Girls. A jukebox musical about the Shi relles called, naturally, “Baby, It’s You” will open in the spring at the Broadhurst.
The nostalgia-dripping show is aimed squarely at that army of baby boomers for whom the words “tonight you’re mine completely/you give your love so sweetly” will open the floodgates of memory.
