"One Fine Day" by The Chiffons.
OK, girls and boys, back to the 60s: Inspired by Puccini's aria "Un bel di, vedremo" from "Madama Butterfly", this 1963 Gerry Goffin/Carole King pop classic was originally intended for Little Eva. It was instead recorded by a girl group which got its start at James Monroe High School in The Bronx in 1960. A girl has a crush on a boy who is not interested in her and she eagerly awaits for him to fall for her. The group had just had another "fine" hit (hint, hint!). Carole King plays the signature impellent piano on the recording. Top 5 Billboard, #6 R&B. #460 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. A Carole King '80 cover hit #12 and was her last Top 40 tune. Song? Group? For extra credit, name the group's other "fine" hit.
Answer: "One Fine Day" by The Chiffons. Extra credit: "He's So Fine".
