The Crystals are an
American vocal group based in
New York, considered one of the defining acts of the
girl group era in the first half of the 1960s. Their 1961–1964
chart hits, including "
There's No Other (Like My Baby)", "Uptown", "He's Sure the Boy I Love", "
He's a Rebel", "
Da Doo Ron Ron (When He Walked Me Home)" and "
Then He Kissed Me", featured three successive female lead singers, and were all
produced by
Phil Spector. The latter three songs were originally ranked #267, #114, and #493, respectively, on
Rolling Stone magazine's list of
The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. However, two songs were dropped from the magazine's 2010 update.
