The Girls (1960s band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Girls were an American all-female band from Los Angeles, California, United States. They initially called themselves The Sandoval Sisters and The Moonmaids before settling on The Girls in 1965, when they signed a recording contract with Capitol Records.[1] The members were sisters: Rosemary (lead guitar), Diane (rhythm guitar), Sylvia (bass), and Margaret (drums and lead vocals) Sandoval. They released two singles with Capitol, including a version of the biker song "Chico's Girl", written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.[2] The group toured the Far East, which included performing for the troops in Vietnam.[1]
The four girls first recorded as 'The Four Queens' on Teron Records : "A Cinder In My Eye" / "The Boy Next Door" (1964).[3]
"Chico's Girl" was included on the 2009 compilation album, The Shangri-Las & The '60s Girl Group Garage Sound.
