What’s up Sorry State readers? I hope everyone has had a nice week. It’s starting to really feel like spring here in Raleigh: 70 degree weather, thunderstorms in the middle of the day, flowers blooming… it’s been nice being reminded how nice spring is. I forget how rejuvenating spring can feel, and I find myself listening to music that matches the feeling. Today I’m writing about another compilation, nothing fancy or special really, pretty run of the mill, Super Girls. While this may not be the most exciting record, it’s a great example of some cheap heat to me with a nice copy running you probably about $10-15. My copy even still has a cool $1 sticker from “Papa Jazz.” With 3 discs, you definitely are getting your money’s worth. This compilation features all the heavy hitters of girl groups and solo acts from the 60s: The Supremes, The Shangri-Las, The Dixie Cups, The Chiffons, Brenda Lee, and a lot more. To me, this is a perfect playlist for some cheery spring music. How can you listen to Lollipop and not have visions of sunshine and happiness dancing around your head? I’ve also found some tracks on here that I wasn’t as familiar with that take turns cycling which one is stuck in my head. Currently, it’s the song Hello Stranger by Barbara Lewis. It just has this real dreamy sound to it with the organ and The Dells providing some soothing background vocals. Other tracks I’ve really enjoyed on here are I’m Into Something Good, Don’t Say Nothin’ (Bad About My Baby), Heatwave, and Don’t Hang Up. The type of music that makes you wanna share a snow cone with the person you love on a hot, sunny day.
