The Shirelles - "Mama Said"

[Libra]

Their third Top 10 hit, went to #4 on the Hot 100 and #2 R&B. It's one of only three songs of theirs that I'm familiar with; the other two are their two #1s. ("Soldier Boy" sounds so different tho; when I double-checked their discography, I double-taked when seeing that song.)





That hook is iconic.

[COW COW COW COW COW COW COW]

My favorite Shirelles song is "Baby It's You," which came after this but "Mama Said" is a stone-cold classic and I hear it in tons of commercials, movies, tv shows, etc.

Love it.
