Year 8, Day 142

Hey guys. Today's song is One Fine Day by The Chiffons. 

The Chiffons are an American girl group active since 1960 with members including Judy Craig, Patricia Bennett, Connie Harvey, Barbara Lee, and Sylvia Peterson. It started off with schoolmates Craig, Bennett, and Lee then adding Peterson in 1962. They got the name while recording their first hit He's So Fine which went gold (platinum by today's standards) following by the album of the same name, then the release of their second album named after this song. They released two singles in 1963 under the name the Four Pennies, but abandoned that when the Chiffon's success started coming. Through the 60's Peterson took on a lead role for many songs and the group, through some business issues, kept touring before their popularity kind of waned, only earning minor hits up to 1968. With the lack of success and constant touring, Craig left the group by 1970, getting a normal 9 to 5 - a move that was soon followed by the other three who got regular jobs, but still did shows on the weekend. After a while Peterson also left, being replaced by a round robin of friends of the group. Peterson rejoined the group in the 80's, then in the 90's Lee passed away leading to Craig returning to the group. Shortly after that Peterson left again, officially retiring, and was replaced with Connie Harvey. As of now Harvey has decided to go solo and Bennett has retired, leaving the only active member as Judy Craig, although I don't forsee anything happening in the future. In any event you can listen to this song and enjoy it, as I often do.

Peace.
