"Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This"

'The Shirelles' Shirley Alston Reeves Rocks the Greenway
On a sun-splashed Greenway at noon on July 14, The Chiofaro Company’s President, Don Chiofaro, welcomed International Place tenants – as well as guests from the Wharf District, Harbor Towers and North End – as he introduced Shirley Alston Reeves, lead singer of the legendary Shirelles, rock ’n’ roll’s first “girl band.” With the cooperation of the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy (an International Place tenant), the building ushered in summer with Shirley’s exciting performance in our new front yard. Shirley and her band rocked the picnicking audience on the Greenway; they sang classic doo-wop numbers from the ’50’s and ’60’s, including The Shirelles’ own hits, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” “Mama Said,” and “Baby, It’s You.” This outdoor venue – the first tenant event held on the Greenway – took full advantage of summer sunshine and breezes, and lent an inclusive, community atmosphere to the event.
