All-female bands, in which members also play instruments, are usually considered a separate phenomenon. These groups are sometimes called "girl bands" to differentiate, although this terminology is not universally followed. With the advent of the music industry and radio broadcasting, a number of girl groups emerged, such as the Andrews Sisters.

The Supremes alone held 12 number-one singles on the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
