Musical Interlude: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (1961)

 The Shirelles' 3 biggest hits of the 60's----"Soldier Boy", "Dedicated to The One I Love", & "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"----are in regular rotation on oldies channels. One here in the 518 also plays the Mamas & The Papas' cover of "Dedicated" on a consistent basis, too.

But, the original "Tomorrow", with Shirley Alston Reeves on vocals, is an all-time classic.


I've talked about this before. 20 years after "Tomorrow" hit #1, my high school sweetheart, with a lone guitarist accompanying her, sang a solo version at our senior class talent show. It was one of the highlights of the evening. If only there was video or photographic footage to mark the occasion, though.......
