and signing the girls to her label, Scepter records.

In 1960 “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” reached the top of
the Hit Parade as did “Soldier Boy” in 1962. Among their
more than two dozen hits, The Shirelles had three million sellers
in 1961 with “Dedicated to the One I Love,”
“Mama Said.” and “Baby It’s You.”
“Foolish Little Girl,” would follow in 1963.

At 58 years of age, cancer claimed the life of Doris Jackson in 2000.
