Not really no, just a fun manufactured group for TV. I loved them when I was a kid.

Why weren't there any girl bands like that in the 60s and 70s? I mean proper raunchy bands like Dixie Chicks that a teenage lad could drool over.

I remember The Supremes, The Ronnetes, Martha And The Vandellas and The Shirelles.
