You Can’t Help But Sing Along With This 1964 Hit

“The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss)” is rumored to have been rejected by the Shirelles in the early ’60s. But, in 1964 Betty Everett made this song firmly her own, climbing the charts with this now-classic tune.

But, her lovely voice and doo-wop style are unforgettable. When we think about soundtrack of the ’60s, this song instantly comes to mind.
