Just found out from Wikipedia that it was the first song by a black all-girl group to reach number one in the United States. Cool as hell!! It’s been covered a bunch but this one n the Four Seasons’ are the best

[@rs-ye7kw]

This is still my favorite version but Amy Winehouse did a nice job also. She changes the tempo completely. Give it a try if you haven't heard it.

[@joeyrobison6629]

Carole King wrote this along with "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman", "You've Got A Friend", "Chains" (the hit by The Cookies in 1962), "The Loco-Motion", "It's Too Late", "So Far Away", "Take Good Care Of My Baby" (Bobby Vee), "Up On The Roof" (The Drifters) and so many others.

[@JohnnyHector17]

People always forget Gerry Goffin who wrote the beautiful lyrics to all those beautiful songs

[@victorsixtythree]

Carole King has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame both as a songwriter and a performer. For a different take on the same song, check out Carole King's own version from her classic "Tapestry" album. Same song but very different feel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqm6o4iql9-fgq8

Carole King was a phenomenon, wrote many of the classics, and was a wonderful singer in her own right.

[@ronhunt9396]

She definitely wrote some awesome hits

[@DanoSeer]

Awesome natural talent. Beautiful vocals and orchestra. One of the greatest hook-lines in music history too.

[@2011littlejohn1]

This song has now become a somewhat cheesy karoke thing however the lyrics are still very thoughtful ''tonight with words unspoken'' for example. The song writer Carol King is probably the most important female composer in rock history. Though this was written in partnership with Gerry Goffin. My band still plays this. :)

Thank you for making a 74 year old feel young again. Memories are such good vibes.

[@martinsinfield42]

I love Shirley Owens voice (the lead singer after whom the group is named). Her voice is strong but still sounds so vulnerable. This was a very advanced song for the time. The (unspoken) suggestion of spending the night together was unacceptable at the time. Carole King, who co-wrote the song with Gerry Goffin also did a great version on her 'Tapestry' album. King and Goffin were among the premier songwriters of the era.

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

I love the strings in this, perfect arrangement. Really move the song forward. i never get tired of this string arrangement. Remember the Beatles were listening to this group back in the day a covered some of their other songs.

[@brianbyczek3042]

maybe the best girl group ever......i remember the first time i heard this when it just came out and still love it 60 years later. i think this is the first girl group to have a #1 hit across America in 1960-61

[@54nomore]

Written by the great singer/songwriter Ms. Carol King. "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" (1960). Charted at #1 on Billboard and Cash Box respectively for "The Shirelles" named after their lead singer Shirley Owens. It would turn out to be their greatest hit and signature song.

"Foolish Little Girl" was also one of my favorites by the Shirelles

[@riko3766]

The Beatles did two Shirelles songs, Baby it´s you and Boys on their debut album. They loved all these girl groups of the era.

[@mocrg]

Written when Carole was 17 and her husband Gerry Goffin was 21. Gerry wrote the words. Remember that a year earlier they got married-when they found out Carole was pregnant. That gives this song a whole new meaning . And what is more amazing is the words were by the husband. Gerry was a really sensitive guy. He also wrote the words to You Make me Feel Like A Natural Woman.

[@lindajenkins8839]

would you react to Sarah Vaughn "Broken Hearted Melody (1955) live on the Ed Sullivan Show and LaVerne Baker "Tweedle Dee". They are two of the best blues singers ever!

[@thewattone]

I like how the oldies have intelligent lyrics. You know what they were singing about but without being crude and graphic.

[@markthoele1808]

We had such great songs in the 50’s and 60’s.

[@jvsmith7888]

The Shirelles had many hits and all of them are good. You should also check out a song called "A Lovers Concerto" by The Toys. It's a very similar style.

[@ednoponen2943]

Great reaction! Great song. It was produced by the infamous Phil Spector who developed the 'Wall of Sound', not only for the The Shirells, but The Ronettes, The Crystals, Darlene Love/Bobby Sox and Blue Jeans, The Righteous Brothers and Ike and Tina Turner. The concept was to kind of obliterate the sound of each individual instrument in favor of an overall, composite background . . . a "Wall of Sound", if you will.

[@martinsinfield42]

Sorry, this was not a Phil Spector production and isn't representative of his 'Wall of Sound'. It was Luther Dixon that produced this and many other Shirelles records. Phil Spector did not produce for the Wand/Scepter group of labels that this record was released on. All the other artists you mention were on Phil Spector's own label (Philles) so he did produce their records as well as some others on Atlantic.

[@d.j.starling3559]

The song was written by Gerry Goffin & Carole King, one of the most prolific & successful songwriting teams of the 50s/60s era, maybe even ever!! A list of their songs by the many varied artists who recorded them would give you enough new reaction material for at least a month or two if you listened to them everyday. By 1970, Carole King decided to sing her songs herself. Finally displaying an incredible voice, her second album, Tapestry, became one of the most successful albums ever, with high volume sales & numbers of awards won. It is still considered one of the best albums in music history. I Feel The Earth Move is one of the great songs on the album, which also includes Carole's own version of Will You Love Me Tomorrow. Treat yourself to a listen!

Carole sang- and released- "It Might As Well Rain Until September" in 1962. It peaked at #22 on the Billboard Top 40...

Love this one. I'm sure it's a question every woman must have asked herself at some point in her life - or realised too late it was the question she SHOULD have asked!

[@realemiele.franco736]

Lyrics like these don't exist in today's music. Relationships and marriages lasted longer then they do now. They took words seriously and embodied them to actions. Girl groups was a thing back then and with Phil Spectere's infamous "Wall of sound"... it took of like wildfire. The Shirrelles, The Supremes, even The Ronnettes.

[@barnowl5774]

This song was written by husband and wife team, Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Carole also sings it. In an interview Carole King stated that ( in the age of the developing "free love"' movement) they wanted to remind women about questioning the true nature of a man's intentions. There is a savvy saying that goes, "A woman gives sex to receive love, and a man gives love to receive sex". This does not apply to all people, but it is certainly something for females to think about , and to value themselves and not be taken just for sexual gratification. Women would do well to keep their legs crossed more often and not be taken for granted sexually. Very often when lyrics in songs express love it really means sex.

[@delisamarchetti5926]

I can't believe how empowered the women were in the songs from the past. They had such dignity. As Shawn said, they didn't play. These lyrics are so profound. Please don't ever go to "reaction school" haha, I like you guys just the way you are. :)

You are introducing a whole lot of younger people to something I'm sure they will enjoy. Please keep it up.

[@russellcarson4207]

I do believe this is still, after all these years, the best love song ever. Of course it helps to have been there, and I was, in 1961, months away from high school graduation and uncertain about the next step....college? Armed forces? Just get a job? Get serious about relationships with girls who had suddenly turned into women?

[@waltw4537]
