“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” by The Shirelles
This song, written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, was first recorded by The Shirelles, an all-girl quartet. According to rumors, the words “So tell me now, and I won’t ask again, will you still love me tomorrow?” are about a female who is getting ready to be intimate with a boy for the first time. (How, precisely, is beyond our comprehension). However, some US radio stations discovered the line and banned the song. In 1960, a little hint of suggestion was enough to set off the alarms. The restrictions, however, did not prevent the song by the first black all-girl band from topping the US charts and reaching No. 4 in the UK.
