We Shot Mr Lee CD

The Bobbettes from Manhattan were still schoolgirls 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 singles chart hit and to also top the US R&B charts.
After struggling with to repeat the success with their follow-ups, they charted with the controversial I Shot Mr. Lee, three years later, and scored further hits with Have Mercy Baby, Dance With Me Georgie, Mr Johnny Q and I Don’t Like It Like That.
Between 1957 and 1962 the Bobettes recorded prolifically for eight different record labels.
This collection gathers thirty of their finest original recordings, plus bonus track Loop De Loop - a million seller for Johnny Thurder on which The Bobbette feature as backing singers.
