SYLVIA PETERSON VON DEN CHIFFONS WURDE 75
- Oct 01, 2021
Sylvia Petersons gehörte schon zu den Chiffons, als im Januar 1963 die Debüt-Single “He‘s So Fine“ erschien, mit der die Girl Group auf Schlag die US-Single-Charts anführte - und die zwölf Jahre später Ex-Beatle George Harrison in eine Schaffenskrise stürzte, als er vor Gericht einen Plagiatsprozess verlor, in dem festgestellt wurde, dass “My Sweet Lord“ unbewusst (!) von dem Chiffons-Hit abgekupfert worden sei. Die Sängerin war 1962 zu der zwei Jahre zuvor gegründeten Gruppe gestoßen - und blieb am Ende bis 1992. Am 30. September ist sie 75. Jahre alt geworden.

The singer had joined the group, formed two years earlier, in 1962 - and ended up staying until 1992. She turned 75 on September 30.
