Daniel's Top 50 girl group records
My son Daniel has produced a list of his favourite 50 records by girl groups. He's a bit of a music nut (takes after his dad) and has good taste. Although there are a few on the list that I'm not too familiar with (mostly the newer ones, although his earliest choice dates back to 1934) I have to say that most of them would be on any similar list of mine as well. In fact, the top five would probably be my favourites too. I've included Youtube clips for a few of the ones that may not have made my top 50, and one or two that would.
Here it is:

I would add the Cookies - Chains and Don't Say Nothin' Bad. Also the Jaynetts - Sally Go Round the Roses. And a British entry - the Orchids, Love Hit Me.
Reparata and the Delrons - Nobody’s Baby Now - would be in my top 10. Nice list.
