LEWISTON - March is Women's History Month and Lewis-Clark State College is celebrating with eight brown bag lunch discussions.

The first luncheon took place Tuesday and was called "You Don't Own Me: Feminist Awakenings in Early Rock and Roll."

Tuesday's speaker, Dr. Amy Canfield, an assistant professor of history at LCSC, said the song "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", recorded by the Shirelles in 1960, was a pivotal moment for women in rock and roll in the early 1960s.

But prior to that, with men dominating the airwaves in the 50s, she said a sexual revolution was already brewing.

"The emotional release that Elvis and other male singers brought in the 1950s is just the beginning," said Canfield.

Other topics this month include, Women Empowered to Minister and Women in Athletics.

The brown bag lunch series is free and open to the public.

The Shirelles

The Shirelles were one of the earliest and most memorable girl groups from the late Fifties and early Sixties. John Lennon proclaimed The Shirelles as his favorite group in the early days of Beatlemania.

With their innocent, unblemished vocal style, The Shirelles project a "girl next door" image, and their songs about young love and its travails appeal to all generations of fans. Moreover, The Shirelles' material and production are uniformly excellent, and transcend the glory years of the early Sixties.

What was it like in the day when The Shirelles had the #1 hit in the country with "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"? Read this great excerpt from The Clay Cole Christmas Show at the Brooklyn Paramount.

Some of the many Shirelles achievements include:

Four Gold Records & Dozens of Top 40 Hits
Best Female Vocal Group in Billboard & Cashbox for 5 Consecutive Years
Playboy Music Poll Top Female Group for 7 Years
Vocal Group Hall of Fame
Pioneer Award from the Rhythm & Blues Foundation
Command performances for Presidents, Kings & Prime Ministers Around The World

It's no wonder that The Shirelles were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, and are still going strong today with The Shirelles 50th Anniversary Tour!
