Hall of Fame: The Good Girls
The Good Girls were Motown’s ‘90s answer to the Supremes during their revival during the New Jack Era. Comprised of three attractive California teenagers (Shirleen Cutherfield, Joyce Tolbert, and DeMonica Santiago) the Good Girls debuted in 1989, during Motown’s new wave of young talent. Other Motown acts from this era including The Boys, Johnny Gill, Rich Nice, Milira, and MC Trouble. The trio released their debut, All For Your Love, in 1989. The album was full of fresh and funky New Jack Swing beats with a ‘sass’ appeal to it. One of the singles from All For Your Love was a remake of The Supremes’ 1966 classic “Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart” as well as “Your Sweetness.” The Good Girls followed up their debut with 1992’s ‘Just Call Me’ which produced a hit in it’s title track. Around the same time, the Good Girls also supplied backing vocals to West Coast rapstress YoYo’s 1992 album, Black Pearl. Since then, the Good Girls have quietly disappeared from the music scene.
Joyce Tolbert of the Good Girls has tried her hand at stand-up comedy and has performed at venues such as Caroline's in New York City.
