The Chiffons recorded “He’s So Fine,” the 1963 US number-one hit later involved in a copyright dispute.
The song was written by Ronnie Mack and produced by The Tokens. The Chiffons’ recording reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the group’s signature song. Its bright, repetitive melody made it one of the most recognizable American girl-group recordings of the early 1960s.
The copyright dispute concerned George Harrison’s 1970 song “My Sweet Lord,” which was found to have similarities to “He’s So Fine.” The legal case is often remembered as a dispute involving Harrison, but the original recording belonged to The Chiffons. The song should not be confused with The Chiffons’ later hit “One Fine Day,” which was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin.
