The Chiffons-He's So Fine (original 45)


The group was originally a trio comprising Judy Craig (lead singer), Patricia Bennett and Barbara Lee. They formed at James Monroe High School in The Bronx in 1960. At the suggestion of songwriter Ronnie Mack, Sylvia Peterson was added to the group in 1962. Peterson had previously sung with Little Jimmy & The Tops in 1959 when she was fourteen years old. This group had a local hit with «Puppy Love» (V-Tone). Sylvia shared the lead with Jimmy on the single’s B-Side, «Say You Love Me». Peterson would later lend her leads to Chiffons’ «Why Am I So Shy», «Strange, Strange Feeling», «The Real Thing» and the pseudonym sides as The Four Pennies, «My Block» and «When The Boy’s Happy».

Another group from California also used the name «Chiffons» and recorded three singles, including a version of the Shirelles’ «Tonight’s The Night». According to Craig and Bennett, the New York Chiffons have no connection to the other group.

The group hit the number one spot in the United States with their first single «He’s So Fine», written by Ronnie Mack, and released on Laurie. George Harrison’s 1970 song «My Sweet Lord» was musically similar, prompting a copyright infringement claim. The Chiffons went on to record «My Sweet Lord» in 1975. A judge later found that Harrison had unintentionally plagiarized the earlier song.

Their first hit was followed by other notable tunes such as Gerry Goffin and Carole King’s «One Fine Day», «Sweet Talkin’ Guy» and «I Have A Boyfriend».
