Girl Groups: The Story of a Sound

The best documentary on early 60s girl groups. Interviews with songwriters and artists. It isn't available on DVD but a good copy was available on YouTube as of March, 2021.

I do love a girl group and for a couple of years or so in the early 60's they were all the rage. This cool little doc looks back at the era and interviews a few of the principals. Even better than that it contains a bunch of priceless clips of the groups from back in the day, including choice cuts from the likes of The Angels, The Blossoms, The Supremes, The Exciters, Martha & The Vandellas, The Ronettes, The Shangri-Las, etc etc. Its thoroughly poptastic stuff and very informative. Also, interesting to see so many of the participants say they were wary of Phil Spector in a doc made 20 years before his arrest for murder.
