Song of the day (4/11/2010):
Shirley Gunter - Stuck Up
Lot of stuff to tackle today, so this is going to be a quick one.
Stuck Up is a nice sunshiney tune, originally released on the Tangerine label in 1965.
Overview of Shirley Tuner's career
- Born in 1934.
- Started recording for her brother's Flair label in 1953.
- Joined The Four Queens in 1954 ("From all reports, they seem to have been the first all-girl doo-wop group; Etta James has called them "the first female group where all the girls could sing.")
- Joined The Flairs, with her brother a few years later.
- "Officially" retired from music in 1958.
- Still alive, living in Las Vegas. So much for retirement, eh?!
