#BHM Black Women in Music: The Crystals

#TheCrystals were unfortunate victims of the music industry's history of "less than honest representation," but that didn't stop them from being hard working and amazing artists!

He's a Rebel
He'll never ever be any good
He's a Rebel
cuz he never ever does
what he should
But just because he doesn't do
what everybody else does
That's no reason why
I can't give him all my love
He's always good to me
Always treats me tenderly
Cuz he's not a rebel
Oh no no no
He's not a rebel
Oh no no no
To me
