He'll get no argument from me. lol We did a surprise live 75th birthday radio show with famous callers for Eugene's birthday last November, and I got Billy to call in. They've been talking again ever since. A mutual admiration society. I believe Billy played guitar for the Flamingos and Shirelles, among others during those years.
Robb K, are the girl groups you listed the ones you would rank as the best, or just female groups you thought of?
I ask because I can think of a few more:
Barbara English & The Clickettes
Barbara Harris & The Toys
Also, Louise Murray is still performing as Louise Murray & The Hearts
