Shirley Alston Reeves & The Chiffons to Play The Suncoast Showroom, 6/25-26

Shirley Alston Reeves, Original Lead Singer of the Shirelles, and The Chiffons will bring nostalgic doo wop classics of the 50's and 60's to the Suncoast Showroom June 25 and 26.

New Jersey native Reeves made her debut in 1958 with the Shirelles, the first female pop/rock 'n' roll group credited with the girl group sound. During the height of their fame in the 60's, the Shirelles became best-known for their huge hits, including "I Met Him on a Sunday," "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," "Mama Said" and "Soldier Boy."

Reeves left the group in 1975 to work on a solo career where she started performing under the name "Lady Rose." That same year, she recorded the album "With a Little Help From My Friends," which featured members of The Flamingos, The Drifters, Shep & the Limelites, and other notable groups. Reeves was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Shirelles in 1996 and the New Jersey Hall of Fame in 2014.

The Chiffons, with then-original members Judy Craig, Patricia Bennett, Barbara Lee, and Sylvia Peterson, exploded onto the music scene in in the early 60's after performing at James Monroe High School in the Bronx, N.Y. The group released its first hit single, "He's So Fine," in 1963. The song quickly rose to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and sold more than 1 million copies. The Chiffons later went on to record "One Fine Day," "Sweet Talkin' Guy," and "I Have a Boyfriend." The Chiffons' current lineup includes original member Judy Craig, her daughter, Dawn Craig, and niece, Jubilee Clark.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from $22 plus taxes and fees, and can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming box office, by calling 702.284.7777, or visiting www.suncoastcasino.com.
