On July 30, everything at Lincoln Center Out of Doors will be sunshine and lollipops when we present Ponderosa Stomp: She’s Got the Power! a girl group extravaganza that celebrates the phenomenon of the girl groups that dominated American popular music in the late 1950s and mid-1960s. Adding songs like “Be My Baby,” “My Boyfriend’s Back,” and “It’s My Party,” to the American songbook, creating a lasting legacy. This third collaboration with New Orleans-based Ponderosa Stomp Foundation brings together women who defined the era in groups like The Chantels, The Jaynetts, The Angels, The Exciters, The Cookies, The Crystals, session singers and songwriters (Toni Wine, Jean Thomas, Mikie Harris) and those who made solo careers, including Maxine Brown, Baby Washington, and Lesley Gore, seen here in the golden age of girl groups.
