About Foolish Little Girl

Foolish Little Girl is a 1963 album by The Shirelles. The title track turned out to be the last of the group's big hits, stopping at number four on the U. S. pop charts. The album's other single, "Don't Say Goodnight and Mean Goodbye," (#26 US) was The Shirelles' last top forty US hit. Despite their weakening chart impact, the demand for Shirelles recordings continued to grow. The same year, they had provided material for the film It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World. By this period, the main producer of The Shirelles, Luther Dixon, had gone to Capitol Records and production was taken over by Stan Green; some of Dixon's previously recorded tracks with the group appear on this album. Foolish Little Girl also contains material by Ellie Greenwich and Van McCoy. Dionne Bromfield covered the title song on her debut album Introducing Dionne Bromfield in 2009 along with another Shirelles hit " Mama Said".  more »
