’60s Girl Groups, Part II

Virtual (Zoom)

Class Schedule: April 23, 28, & 30, 2026 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM
The early 1960s began the girl group renaissance, with prominent Brill Building songwriters and emerging producers such as Phil Spector crafting hits. Motown would further set the template, with Martha and the Vandellas, the Velvettes, and the Marvelettes inspiring even British Invasion groups.  Perhaps no one defined the girl group aesthetic like the Supremes, one of the most successful (and influential) acts of the 1960s.

Zoom Link will be provided upon registration.
