  The Chiffons
In the reverse of that equation, the Chiffons garnered their greatest success because a hit song was in search of a group.
The Chiffons were now in great demand and began appearing on TV's American Bandstand, Hullabaloo, Shindig, as well as Murray the K's Brooklyn Fox live show, and singing commercials for Great Shakes drinks.
By 1970 the Chiffons were on the Buddah label singing the Tymes hit "So Much in Love, while George Harrison was unintentionally plagiarizing "He's So Fine" while he was writing his first solo hit "My Sweet Lord." In 1971, he was sued by Ronnie Mack's estate and Bright Tunes.

 The Chiffons
The Chiffons were formed in 1960 at James Monroe High School in the Bronx, New York.
The Chiffons were called into the studio to record the song and in December 1962, it was released on Laurie Records.
In late fall of 1963, the Chiffons released "I Have a Boyfriend", a ballad that was a Ronettes styled mix of the early '60s rhythm and blues and doo wop.

 Girl Group Chronicles: The Chiffons
The Chiffons were also rumoured to be the voices behind another BT Puppy Act, the Cinnamon Angels (aka the Cinnamons).
In a bold and unexpected move, the Chiffons took Bright Tunes, their recording company, to court in hopes of freeing themselves from a restrictive contract that used much of the profits from the group’s records to pay for studio costs.
The Chiffons, however, were the exception, restoring themselves to the Top 10 early in the year with "Sweet Talkin' Guy." The song, which fused the Brill Building sound with a Motown beat and some Mamas and the Papas’ styled harmonies, has since become a classic and perennial favourite of oldies radio.

The Chiffons were one of the fabulous Sixties girl groups that came from the Bronx and cracked the top ten, once even reaching the number one spot on the charts.
Recorded on the Laurie label (as were all of the group's huge hits), the song became a mega-hit and reached the number one position on both the R&B and the pop charts.
In 1965 the Chiffons cut a song that reached number 49 on the charts and is regarded by some as one of the first psychedelic records, titled Nobody Knows What's Goin' On (In My Mind Except Me).

 Little Steven's Underground Garage:
With it's infectious vocal and upbeat sound, it became The Chiffons second smash on both sides of the Atlantic.
But it was to be their last hit, though they released a number of well respected singles on Laurie and other labels.
The Chiffons re-entered the publics consciousness again thanks to court action involving George Harrison, who was charged with copying "He's So Fine" on his release "My Sweet Lord." Though Harrison claimed any plagiarism was subliminal, he lost the case.

The Chiffons were one of the most successful girl groups of their era and comprised Judy Craig, Barbara Lee, Patricia Bennett and Sylvia Peterson.
So if the music itself is the biggest requirement (as it usually is) then this collection is the way to go since it is the most thorough overview of their career currently available.
The Chiffons had a nice, smooth sound...not a really distinctive lead vocal, but blended nicely in the "group sound".

And, surprisingly, "My Sweet Lord" was not only the Beatles or Beatles solo song to be inspired by the Chiffons.
Lennon and McCartney were also inspired by the Chiffons' "One Fine Day" with "It Won't Be Long".
But, seriously, none of the Beatles meant to copy the Chiffons not as much be inspired by them.

The group had already recorded a handful of singles when they hit the number one spot in the United States with the song "He's So Fine." George Harrison's 1971 "My Sweet Lord" was musically almost identical, prompting a copyright infringement claim.
The Chiffons went on to record "My Sweet Lord" in 1975.

 Stay Free! Daily: The Chiffons v. George Harrison
I pulled out a Chiffons CD the other day, a collection called The Best of the Chiffons, which I hadn't listened to it since posting about the group's lawsuit (in the 1970s) against George Harrison, alleging copyright infringment.
Anyway, this will amuse maybe five of you but the fourth song on the CD is a cover of Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" (mp3).
Yes, the song the Chiffons claimed was an infringement of "He's So Fine" is considered one of their "best"!
