In Pop Music History, the phenomenon between early Rock & Roll and the mid-1960s British Invasion is known as the Era of the “Girl Groups.” They offered a style rich in vocal harmonies that was eagerly embraced by a wide audience. The girl group era produced a clearly identifiable hybrid of gospel, rhythm & blues, doo-wop, and quirky pop that epitomized the ebullient hopes of early 1960s culture and feminized rock music, providing a model for male beat groups such as the Beatles, who covered many Girl Group hits on their early albums.
It was music of celebration – of simple joy, of innocence, of sex, of life itself. It was utopian stuff – a utopian of love between a boy and a girl, a utopia of feeling, of sentiment, of desire most of all.
NEAT will be performing a representative selection from The Girl Group Repertoire packed within an original story by author Jadi Campbell.
