A
girl group, as the name implies, is a musical group featuring a
group consisting usually of young female
singers, singing mostly pop and R&B songs. It is essentially the
female equivalent of a boy band. They are distinct from girl bands and
All-women bands, where the women sing and play instruments.
Early girl-groups
Girl groups date back to the late
1950s
and the beginning of the 1960s,
when they were often manufactured by producers or record
companies. Often in these times, the girl group was used as a vehicle
for the latest work by a label's resident songwriters, such as the work of
Phil
Spector and the early days of Motown.
Even earlier, female pop
music singing groups were popular; "Sister groups" like the Andrews
Sisters and the Boswell
Sisters were composed of sisters or relatives. Groups such as the
Boswells and the Keller
Sisters and Lynch were pop recording artists dating as far back as the 1920s.
Girl
Group UC3
The sound of many early
rock
and roll girl groups was engineered by a producer. For instance, Phil
Spector's Wall
of Sound production featured a thick layer of instrumentation (drums, guitar,
bass,
a horn
section and often something more exotic, such as Glockenspiel
or vibraphone).
Amidst the musical accompaniment, there was a lead vocal, often
deliberately girlish in tone, singing deceptively simple, naïve lyrics
which artfully and eloquently expressed the emotions of teenagers of the
time. An example would be The
Shirelles' "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", which doubles
as both a charming love song and, implicitly, a portrayal of adolescent
sexual mores.
Other groups, including some New
York City-based ones like The
Chiffons, used more conventional pop
music arrangements, while the Motown groups used typical driving
Motown arrangements of the period.
By the mid-late
1960s,
in the face of the British
Invasion and the increasing popularity of rock music, the popularity
of girl groups began to wane. During this time, only a few all-female
groups, such as The
Supremes and Martha
and the Vandellas, made the transition to an earthier, soulful sound
and success. Fanny
was among the first all-female rock act to gain success in the United
States and Europe. This group was among the first to sign with a major
recording company (1969, Warner
Brothers) and record albums released by major labels.
Later girl groups
In recent times, the sound of girl groups has been defined, and has
helped to define, the popular musical styles of the period.
While the 1980s saw the emergence of rock and punk-rock girl groups
such as The Go-Go's, the girl groups of the 1990s returned to a manufactured pop
style marketed as clean-cut and aimed at young, predominantly female
audiences. The Spice
Girls were one of the most influential girl group of this time,
bringing their slogan "Girl
Power" to popular use through several number one pop singles,
sold-out concerts, and even a popular film. In the early 2000s, girl
groups again increased in popularity, spawning such bands as
California-based Dream,
the Swedish
quartet Play,
the Russian duo t.A.T.u..
Today's most successful girl groups include American act
The
Pussycat Dolls and British groups such as Girls
Aloud and the Sugababes.
