The Chiffons

The Chiffons was an all girl group originating from the Bronx area of New York in 1960
The group comprised Judy Craig (lead singer), Patricia Bennett, and Barbara Lee. Sylvia Peterson was added to the group in 1963. The group had already recorded a handful of singles when they hit the number one spot in the United States with the song "He's So Fine" (what some called the same distinctive riff later appearing in George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord", prompting a copyright infringement claim).
Their first hit was followed by other notable tunes such as Goffin-King's "One Fine Day", "Sweet Talkin' Guy" and "I Have a Boyfriend", although many of their recordings were derivative of the period. The group also released material under the title The Four Pennies.
The Chiffons disbanded in 1972.
