first heard that song on the 'one kiss can lead to another' compilation, hundreds of tracks, loads of really neat girl groups and artists but that one really stood out for me. certainly is the most original anyway : well... boys and love issues. but really. it's about calories. do you wanna lose a pound a day? try the worryin' way.
but you know what, for such a superficial topic, it's got lots of soul too. and there's so much talent there. the fabulettes were loretta ludlow, addie williams, mattie lovett and annette snell - based in florida, the band was first known as the mar-vells and mostly did session work in the area 'til the mid-60's. then signed with monument records and became the fabulettes, quite a cool name if i must say. loretta ludlow used to sing lead but it's actually addie williams here, what an absolute kick ass voice! really cheeky and deep and playful. very quotable lyrics, best opening line ever.

annette snell went on to a succesful solo career, you can hear some of that here too. again, it's marvelous if a bit more serious.
