VA - Early Girls, Volume 2 (1997) 

Info: Early Girls Volume 2 continues this CD series with some mighty fine hits by some of the best female singers of the 1950s and 1960s. These songbirds could take anything and make it shine brighter than silver and gold; that's why CDs like this still sell! The quality of the sound is excellent and I really like that artwork, too.
Barbie Gaye starts the CD track list off with her big hit entitled "My Boy Lollipop." "My Boy Lollipop" is quite catchy and Barbie sings this with all her might--she really belts it out! Barbie's voice is as clear as a bell and the music fits perfectly with her singing. The Exciters do a wonderful job on "Tell Him;" "Tell Him" really sparkles and The Exciters do this with their incredible sense of timing; "Tell Him" is a masterpiece--and it's also rather catchy, too. "Our Day Will Come" by Ruby & The Romantics is clearly another winner; Ruby & The Romantics do this one up right! They sing, harmonize and sway gently to make this tune really fine. The percussion enhances the music, too.

Listen for Little Leslie Gore to do her outstanding hit, "You Don't Own Me." "You Don't Own Me" still gets airplay on the "oldies" radio station in my area; Leslie sings this faultlessly and that's terrific. Leslie's voice remains distinctive; she has incredible talent and "You Don't Own Me" showcases her talent. Marcie Blane does "Bobby's Girl" with a lot of feeling that really enhances this tune; she sings this very well; Marcie remains a great chanteuse to this day! The McGuire Sisters also do their usual top notch job on "Sugartime;" and those male singers in the background balance out the number very nicely.

"Tonight You Belong To Me" by Patience and Prudence was always one of my very favorite songs from this era and genre of music; Patience and Prudence harmonize to perfection and although their career was short they gave us so much to enjoy. In addition, what can I say about Peggy Lee's incredible hit "Fever?" "Fever" was one of Peggy's signature songs and just one listen proves she owned this song--what a performance! The percussion makes "Fever" even better. There's also the great Dinah Washington doing "September In The Rain;" Dinah was a giant amongst giants and I treasure her CDs in my collection.

Damita Jo's "I'll Save The Last Dance For You" is very strong; and "I Just Don't Understand" gets the royal treatment from Ann-Margret and The Jordanaires. Great! Babs Tino sings "Forgive Me (For Giving You Such A Bad Time)" with lots of positive energy; and there's another gem in "Duchess Of Earl" as The Pearlettes do a female version of "Duke Of Earl" by Gene Chandler. Gladys Knight & The Pips perform "Letter Full Of Tears" without letting go of a superfluous note; and the CD ends very nicely with Timi Yuro doing "What's A Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You)." Wow, Timi sure does this brilliantly. This will leave you wanting more!

Early Girls Volume 2 offers us great, great music by some of the very best songbirds and girl groups of the 1950s and early 1960s; and that's very valuable for fans of this genre of music. I highly recommend this album.
