The Chiffons’ debut single, "He's So Fine," was released in late 1962 on TP4 Music. The song, featuring lead vocals by Patricia Bennett, was a departure from their earlier recordings and hinted at the smoother sounds that would define their later hits.
- "He's So Fine" was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, and produced by George "Shadow" Morton. The single was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City. The B-side, "I Got a Chance to Know You," was written by the group members.
- The single was not a major hit upon its initial release, but it gained traction throughout 1963. It peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
- The song later became the subject of a copyright infringement lawsuit when George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" was accused of plagiarizing its melody. The court found Harrison guilty of "subconscious plagiarism."
The Chiffons were a Dominican-American girl group from the Bronx, New York City, best known for their 1963 hit "One Fine Day." They emerged from the New York doo-wop and R&B scene of the early 1960s.
