Timillustrator Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 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: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Timillustrator Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 The others I had were the Shalimars, The Charmaines, Shirley and The Shirelles, Marilyn Calloway and The Miller Sisters. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve S 60 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Apollas, Belles, Exciters, Fabulous Jades, Glories, Sequins, Sherries. Admittedly not all 100mph, but I'd get a sweat on dancing to them. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Alan T Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited June 30, 2019 by Alan T 1 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dylan Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) 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.
