Although I’ve crossed paths countless times with The Shirelles’ song, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”, it was Lykke Li’s minimalist cover that made me realize how pessimistically depressing the lyrics really are. Lykke Li’s lo-fi, piano based interpretation of this classic track is simply captivating. Take A Listen: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow from Lykke [...]...

Lykke Li joins the storied ranks of Bryan Ferry, Amy Winehouse, and Carole King (the song's co-writer) in providing a rendition of The Shirelles' classic "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." Her stripped-down version reduces the song to its basic elements: piano, vocal, and angst. Download here . [ Gorillavsbear ] Photo Credit : Olga Bas/Prefixmag.com

The last couple of years have had us yelling “the Swedes are coming!” but by now, I think we are all pretty comfortable with the fact that the Swedish popsters and electro nuts seem like they’re here to stay. Lykke Li came to us in that initial rush and I thought you might like to hear her version of the classic 60’s cut “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” made famous...

The Shirelles recorded one of the saddest pop songs in the history of American music, which Lykke fully comprehends. Her minimal piano version is heart-wrenching, stripped down to the very core of the track: forlorn uncertainty amidst the temporary bliss of a one-nighter. Damn. If you’re at all depressed about love and/or currently drunk, you [...]

Luther Dixon, who produced and wrote many of the Shirelles' greatest recondings, has died aged 78. Luther wrote Sixteen Candles for the Crests and his other writing credits included Big Boss Man, A Hundred Pounds of Clay and Soul Serenade. But he is best remembered for his work with the Scepter and Wand labels and his song writing and production with the Shirelles, Chuck Jackson and Tommy Hunt. He...

A live version from 1964 complete with raunchy guitar in place of the strings, perfectly demonstrating the point that the Beatles owed a great deal from their early pop sound, that propelled them to fame to the Shirelles.

It's been a while since I had a current pop video on this blog but this goes on for it being a great rendition of the Shirelles' hit - it's always been the case that the Shirelles haven't really had the recognition in recent years as they should have (considering the beloved Fab Four took a lot from them) and this proves that their sound is still enjoyable. This is a spirited version and I am sure...

I was a Laura Nyro fan without even knowing it. When I was a kid, I loved listening to "Wedding Bell Blues" by The 5th Dimension, and later as a young man, I discovered more of their groovy music like "Stoned Soul Picnic" and "Sweet Blindness" as well as Three Dog Night's "Eli's Coming" and Barbra Streisand's "Stoney End". It wasn't until I heard Nyro's...
