The Crystals

The Crystals are an American vocal group based in New York, considered one of the defining acts of the girl group era in the first half of the 1960s. Their 1961–1964 chart hits, including "There's No Other (Like My Baby)", "Uptown", "He's Sure the Boy I Love", "He's a Rebel", "Da Doo Ron Ron (When He Walked Me Home)" and "Then He Kissed Me", featured three successive female lead singers, and were all produced by Phil Spector. The latter three songs were originally ranked #267, #114, and #493, respectively, on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. However, two songs were dropped from the magazine's 2010 update.

History

Formation and signing to Philles

In 1961, Barbara Alston, Mary Thomas, Dolores "Dee Dee" Kenniebrew, Myrna Giraud and Patricia "Patsy" Wright formed the Crystals with the help of Benny Wells, Barbara's uncle. Soon, the quintet signed with Phil Spector's label Philles Records.

Their first hit, the gospel-influenced "There's No Other (Like My Baby)", debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1961. Originally the B-side to "Oh Yeah, Maybe Baby" (featuring Wright on lead), the stirring pop ballad was co-written by Spector and Leroy Bates and featured Barbara Alston on vocals. The recording was made late on the evening of the high school prom at Central Commercial High School, the school attended by Barbara, Mary, and Myrna; they were still wearing their prom dresses, as they had come to the studio straight from the event. The single reached number 20 in January 1962, marking an auspicious debut for Spector's Philles label.

    Then He Kissed Me

    by: The Crystals

    Then he kissed me / The Crystals
    ================================
    Well, he walked up to me and he asked me if I wanted to dance.
    He looked kinda nice and so I said I might take a chance.
    When he danced he held me tight
    And when he walked me home that night
    All the stars were shining bright
    And then he kissed me.
    Each time I saw him I couldn't wait to see him again.
    I wanted to let him know that he was more than a friend.
    I didn't know just what to do
    So I whispered I love you
    And he said that he loved me too
    And then he kissed me.
    He kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before,
    He kissed me in a way that I wanna be kissed forever more.
    I knew that he was mine so I gave him all the love that I had
    And one day he took me home to meet his mon and his dad.
    Then he asked me to be his bride
    And always be right by his side.
    I felt so happy I almost cried
    And then he kissed me.
    Then he asked me to be his bride
    And always be right by his side.
    I felt so happy I almost cried
    And then he kissed me.
    And then he kissed me.
    And then he kissed me
