Girl Group

Girl Group is a genre of Pop music that combines elements of Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, and Traditional Pop music, and is typically performed by trios or quartets of female vocalists. The style is typified by a lead singer accompanied by loose backing harmonies.

Girl Group originated with late 1950s Doo-Wop groups such as The Bobbettes and The Chantels, and was popularized in the early to mid 1960s by groups such as The Shirelles, The Crystals, The Ronettes, and The Shangri-Las.
