Fever 2

~ Girl group lyrics spoke about desire and fantasy fulfillment. The groups were like storytellers, talking to other women and allowing guys to listen in on their conversations about men.
- Guys bought records by girl groups so they could learn more about what women were saying about them and just talking about in general.
~ Women were told to be sexy, but also innocent. Hollywood wanted them to be glamourous but at the same time not greedy with their wants for clothes and jewelry. It was vital to be married, but at the same time it was hard for marriage to not be an economic difficultly. Being a girl seems to be just as tough now as it was then.
- The song "Maybe", by The Chantels, allowed other women to join rock n' roll and was an inspiration for other girl groups.
~Girl groups looked to female songwriters and managers, but were only produced by males. Now a days,  it is the sort of the same way with males mainly acting as producers for all artists.
- Phil Spector was an incredibly successful producer in the 60's. His productions hit the Billboard 27 times and made the Top 40, 17 times. All of this in just 5 years!
~Spector "sang" through his women artists. For an example, he wrote a song about his dead father called "To Know Is to Love Him", which was recorded by the Teddy Bears.

I guess why not do a couple of facts about Tina Turner, from Fever's chapter 3 as well.
~Tina Turner began rock feminism. Her voice was full of passion, but at the same time rage. This all came from the abuse she felt from men, whether it was from her husband or the producers. Her voice was unique from all the other women singers during that time. She was told she had a "male" sounding voice. Even through all the abuse from Ike, she stayed strong and is still currently known as a legend.
