We Shot Mr.Lee

THE?BOBBETTES, from?Manhattan, were still schoolgirls aged between eleven and thirteen when they cut the self-penned, million-selling Mr. Lee in 1957.

It became the first record by an all-girl vocal group to become a Top 10 Pop hit and also top the US R&B?charts.

After struggling with follow-ups, they charted with the controversial I?Shot Mr. Lee, three years later.

In its wake they also registered with Have Mercy Baby, Dance With Me Georgie, Mr. Johnny Q and I?Dont Like It Like That, while in 1962 they backed Johnny Thunder, uncredited, on the million-selling Loop De Loop.

Between 1957 and 1962 they recorded prolifically, for eight different record labels; this compilation presents the Very Best of that recorded output, and includes all their hits.

Much of this material is unavailable elsewhere on CD.
