100 MPH girl group sounds

[Timillustrator 467]

Apologies if there's been another thread like this but I couldn't find one. Just putting together a memory stick for the car and wanted to get a set of 100mph girl group sounds. Surprisingly I can't put my hands on that many, any recommendations? This was the kind of thing I was thinking of but the faster the better, there a few classics but there must be 100's; any CD recommendations too:

The others I had were the Shalimars, The Charmaines, Shirley and The Shirelles, Marilyn Calloway and The Miller Sisters.

This should work -

One more for the list  from Martha and the Vandellas -

A bit past the Girl Group era but should work - 

 

[The Yank 1,733]

Excellent Girl Group / Motown sound - 

 

[Dylan 550]

Maybe not quite 100mph but Irma and the larks “without you baby” is a nice girl group northern

Yes, nice one.

Apollas, Belles, Exciters, Fabulous Jades, Glories, Sequins, Sherries.  Admittedly not all 100mph, but I'd get a sweat on dancing to them.

[Alan T 231]

The Bobbettes did some great uptempo tracks on RCA. Happy Go Lucky Me, I've Got To Face The World and Having Fun are all well produced dance floor winners.

One more from Hitsville- 

 

[Russoul1 533]

one you don't see or hear...……...98mph lol

 

[Dylan 550]

Of all the soul styles girl group soul is probably the genre I know the least about.

 

as a stomper i think loretta williams "baby cakes" takes some beating but its obviously not a group sound.

 

maybe end the mix with the superb deep slowie glories "dont dial my number" from the b side of one of their northern tracks.

That La Shell reminded me of - 

 

[The Tempest 468]

You don’t really here the term 100 mph anymore - pity cause I love fast dancers ! 

Here’s an oldie but a goodie !

WOW! I'd only heard the Ian Levine re-recording, exactly the same tempo but somehow it just doesn't have the same drive? . . What about this one too: 

 

[The Yank 1,733]

A fine "Heatwave" influenced tune - 

 

[Shufflin 1,986]

100mph wrecker

 

 

[Shufflin 1,986]

This probably exceeds the speed limit

 

[The Yank 1,733]

Zippy unreleased track from Brenda -

 

[Shufflin 1,986]

classy tune and need swift feet for this

 

[Shufflin 1,986]

tune, perfect for any car journey

 

[Shufflin 1,986]

last one from me today, this sounds great in 2019 and is mostly unknown/underplayed? only 9 stock (rarer) copies on Discogs, fast soulful girl sound

 

 

[The Yank 1,733]

Deserves a mention - 

 

[Bruv 2,000]

100 mph Female Floor Shaker...… The Jewels - We Got Togetherness  

[The Tempest 468]

It’s a tried and tested oldie - hammered to death up and down the country in its day - BOTH the Vel Vets AND the Gems

underplayed now?  times change, a great soundto my ears, also this topic wasnt about being an oldie or not

Alice Clark-You Hit Me-Warner Bros might be OK as it’s pretty fast. Richetta Osborn-My Sweet Baby is storming up-tempo. Elsie Strong’s cover of Just Ask Me is really good. Make sure you don’t get caught driving as fast as the sounds you play in the car...

[Steve S 60 8,369]

Sisters Love - I'm Learning To Trust My Man......

Ideally, but there don't seem to be all that many?! and when is a group a group? Gladys Knight (and the Pips)?

Don't let the slow intro fool you, this one exceeds 100 mph - 

 

[Shufflin 1,986]

deceptively fast
