"He's So Fine" is a song written by Ronnie Mack. It was recorded by The Chiffons who topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in the spring of 1963. One of the most instantly recognizable golden oldies with its doo-lang doo-lang doo-lang background vocal, "He's So Fine" is also renowned as the plaintiff song in the famous plagiarism case against George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord".
Country music singer Jody Miller scored a top-ten hit of her own in 1971 with her cover of "He's So Fine".
In the end, I don't think "He's So Fine" was a masterpiece of girl-group pop. It's sturdy and efficient pop music...
