Compiled by Joe McCoy of New York oldies radio station WCBS-FM, this 25-track collection digs into the vaults of several labels (all five majors are represented) to survey the distaff side of 1960s pop hitmaking. There is no attempt made to be scholarly or comprehensive, just a sort of dream radio program lasting over an hour, with no commercials or interruptions from a disc jockey.

Compiled by Joe McCoy of New York oldies radio station WCBS-FM, this 25-track collection digs into the vaults of several labels (all five majors are represented) to survey the distaff side of 1960s pop hitmaking. There is no attempt made to be scholarly or comprehensive, just a sort of dream radio program lasting over an hour, with no commercials or interruptions from a disc jockey. Major figures like Aretha Franklin, the Supremes, and Dionne Warwick rub shoulders with one-hit wonders, but nearly all the songs were big hits, and if the occasional one has disappeared into the mists of history ("Mixed up, Shook up Girl" by Patty & the Emblems, number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964), practically every one will bring a smile to listeners of a certain age, while younger music fans may make some discoveries. The lyrical themes are strictly out of adolescence, no matter the era; these women are desperately concerned with true love and being faithful to romantic companions who are often idealized or absent. Put the songs together, and questions occur: the Angels may be overjoyed that "My Boyfriend's Back," to "save my reputation," but where did he go?; Little Peggy March declares, "I Will Follow Him," but where is he going exactly? Of course, such sentiments don't jibe with the independent, feminist concerns of a later era as well as, say, leadoff track "Respect," but, musically anyway, they remain just as compelling as ever. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
