  1. The quote is from the song GYPSY which Shakira sings in English
    and it never ceases to surprise me how many Latinos
    do not know that "Shakes" is half-Lebanese.

    For reasons I feel no obligation to explain,
    I mostly listen to music in reverse alphabetical order
    [by artist] and GYPSY followed immediately after
    a dozen songs by the Shangri-Las,
    a female singing group on par
    with the Ronettes and only
    a tiny notch below The Shirelles

    1. Where do you rank THE SUPREMES on your list
      of American Female singing groups?

    2. My answer may not be satisfactory BUT
      I cannot rank them on that list
      because Diana Ross and the Supremes
      were more A FORCE OF NATURE than a singing group,
      after I fell in love with the lead singer.

      When they would sing on The Ed Sullivan Show
      no other Oliverios were allowed to speak
      during the performance.

      My two sisters, however, would do goofy dances
      to distract my attention from the TV set
      but it always failed to do so
