THE VERNONS GIRLS We Love The Vernons Girls 1962-1964 (2010
UK 22-track CD album - In popular music terms, the Vernons Girls
story had it all. Girls, first and foremost; a lightning flash of late fifties
rock 'n' roll, the dawning of pop culture on TV, more girls, the start of
the swinging sixties, Mersey Beat, the rise and rise of the Beatles; and
still those girls kept coming. There was even 'the beautiful game' and
a few score draws thrown in for good luck too. Assembled from
employees of Vernons Football Pools in Liverpool, the original 70 piece
choir quit singing about Nymphs and Shepherds and became TV
regulars on '6.5 Special' and 'Oh Boy!' as a 16 piece wearing short
shorts, white bucks and saddle shoes. By 1962, a slimmed down trio
of Maureen Kennedy, Frances Lee and Jean Owen arrived at Decca
Records and some serious hit making began. From that opening
shuffle of Clyde McPhatter's 'Lover Please', the girls meant business
with further UK takes on US girl group classics 'The Locomotion', 'Do
The Bird' and 'Tomorrow Is Another Day' as well as creating a home
grown girl group classic of their own - 'Only You Can Do It' - from the
only man who could, Charles Blackwell. Novelty numbers 'You Know
What I Mean' and 'Funny All Over' returned the girls to their musical
roots sung in the Scousest tongue in cheek this side of Bootle. All
tracks sparkle with a variety of musical styles shining through on this
new collection - the first to compile their complete Decca output
including swansong 'It's A Sin To Tell A Lie' and sleeve notes
contributions from original member Jean Owen, later to become RPM
Dream Babe, Samantha Jones!)
