The Chiffons were one of the top girl groups of the early 1960s. With their trademark tight harmonies, high-stepping confidence and the hit machine of Goffin and King writing songs such as "One Fine Day," the Chiffons made music that helped define the girl group sound of the era.The group was originally a trio comprising lead singer Judy Craig, Patricia Bennett and Barbara Lee. They formed at James Monroe High School in The Bronx in 1960. At the suggestion of songwriter Lonnie Mack, Sylvia Peterson was added to the group in 1962. Peterson had previously sung with Little Jimmy & the Tops in 1959 when she was 14. This group had a local hit with "Puppy Love". Sylvia shared the lead with Jimmy on the B-Side, "Say You Love Me". Peterson would later sing lead on the Chiffons' "Why Am I So Shy", "Strange, Strange Feeling", "The Real Thing" and on "My Block", written by Jimmy Radcliffe, Carl Spencer and Bert Berns, and "When The Boy's Happy", for the Chiffons in the early days when they were recording as the Four Pennies. They changed their name to the Chiffons in early 1963.
