Girl Groups30 Jan 2006
Why we should remember them

In the 50's there was rock and roll and Elvis - then in the mid sixties came the Beatles and Bob Dylan - but between the two there was a phenomenon that can still set the feet a tapping - the girl groups - The Cinderellas, The Shangri -Las, The Marvelettes, The Fabulettes and The Chiffons. A box set of CD's called One Kiss Can Lead to Another - Girl Groups Lost and Found has just been released to celebrate them

Mark Hagen, presenter of Sold on Song on Radio 2 and a producer of Top of the Pops and Lucy O Brien, a music journalist and author of She Bop: The Definitive History of Women in Rock, Pop and Soul talk about why we should keen to remember them.
