It’s the birthday of Shirley Owens Alston—lead voice of The Shirelles and the first Black woman to take a girl group to #1 on the pop charts with “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.” But it’s also the day we lost her beloved groupmate, Addie “Micki” Harris, who passed away on stage doing what she loved most. In this heartfelt tribute, we explore the rise of The Shirelles, the sisterhood between Shirley and Micki, and the bittersweet harmony of a day that celebrates a life and mourns a loss. From chart-topping hits to Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame honors, this is a story of legacy, love, and the music that still lives on. 🎤 Featuring: ✔️ Will You Love Me Tomorrow ✔️ Soldier Boy ✔️ Rare insights into the lives of Shirley Owens Alston &amp; Micki Harris ✔️ The lasting legacy of the original girl group 🖤 Like, comment, and share your favorite Shirelles memory below.
