I've got nearly all those (no Supremes or Diana Ross I never liked her) on 45s in one of my jukeboxes, plus these.

The Chiffons One Fine Day / Sweet Talkin' Guy
The Crystals Then He Kissed Me/(Da Do Ron Ron)
Martha & the Vandellas Dancing in the Street / In My Lonely Room
Martha & the Vandellas Jimmy Mack / Third Finger, Left Hand
Martha & the Vandellas Nowhere to Run / My Baby Loves Me
The Velvelettes Needle in a Haystack / Keep on Truckin'

I've also got the "Ruby" 45, you mentioned, technically, she's not a "girl group" as she was the only "girl" with four men. She's one of my favourites of that era, more Doo-Wop than MoTown.

I've also got; Ruby's "When You're Young And in Love/ Hey there lonely boy,"

There you go. It pre-dates Eddie Holman's "Hey There Lonely Girl," which was a big hit.

Trivia.

Ruby and the Romantics had the same line-up from start to finish, a career lasting ten years.....Few other contemporary groups could say the same if any.

Of the runs listed so far, the ones I like best are Higher, Issues, Black Heart, Who Do You Think You Are? and Needle in a Haystack.

A few others I can think of are

Supremes:- The Happening / Reflections
Bananarama:- Shy Boy / Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye
Bangles:- Walk Like an Egyptian / Hazy Shade of Winter
En Vogue:- My Loving
All Saints:- I Know Where It's At
Bellefire:- Perfect Bliss
Stooshe:- Slip

I once did a chart of favourite songs by female solo singers one Valentine's Day. Maybe I should do one for favourite songs by girl groups. I won't next Sunday though!

Loving the love for EnVogue, SWV and L7!

I would add I Believe in Miracles by the Jackson Sisters. Compelled the very first time I heard it 20 years ago, still love it now.

Lost in Music by Sister Sledge too.

I'll just do some of the groups that haven't been mentioned yet, otherwise I'd have hundreds.

Mini Viva - Left My Heart In Tokyo
Girlicious - Maniac
Dumblonde - Dreamsicle
Sweet California - Comprende (It's Over)
Stockholm Syndrome - Pretty Girl
Paradiso Girls - Patron Tequila
Dolly Rockers - Gold Digger
Frank - I'm Not Shy
SoundGirl - Don't Know Why
Tegan & Sara - I Was A Fool
Neon Jungle - Braveheart
Oh My! - Dirty Dancer

But my all time favourite girlband single is probably between 'Round Round' and 'Hole In The Head' by the Sugababes and 'Call The Shots', 'Biology' and 'Sound Of The Underground' by Girls Aloud.
