The Shirelles

Through marriages, Shirley Owens became Shirley Owens Alston and later, Shirley Alston Reeves, while Doris Coley became Doris Coley Kenner and later, Doris Kenner Jackson.

For the most part, Shirley was the lead singer, but occasionally, Doris sang lead.

Shirley and Beverly are the only two survivors of the quartet. Micki died of a heart attack on June 10, 1982 (age 42), and Doris lost a battle with breast cancer on February 4, 2000 (age 58).
