“The Chiffons were a New York City version of the Shirelles. They were several years younger than the New Jersey group, and they began their career with a version of the Shirelle’s ‘Tonight’s the Night.’ Like the Shirelles, the Chiffons had sass…Most of the girl groups were in their mid to late teens…They were thrilled to be chosen to record the songs, impressed by studio routines and the mysterious paraphernalia, awed and intimidated by the grownup producers, and starry-eyed with the glamour of the music. They believed the lyrics they sang” (Aida Pavletich, Sirens of Song: The Popular Female Vocalist in America, 1982).
