The group had already recorded a handful of singles when they hit the number one spot in the United States with the song "He's So Fine." George Harrison's 1971 "My Sweet Lord" was musically almost identical, prompting a copyright infringement claim. The Chiffons went on to record "My Sweet Lord" in 1975. A judge later found that Harrison had unintentionally plagiarized the earlier song. George Harrison, MBE (February 24, 1943 â November 29, 2001) was a popular British guitarist, singer, songwriter, record producer, and film producer, best known as a member of The Beatles. ...

Their first hit was followed by other notable tunes such as Goffin-King's "One Fine Day", "Sweet Talkin' Guy" and "I Have a Boyfriend", although many of their recordings were derivative of the period. The group also released material under the title The Four Pennies. The Four Pennies were the same group as The Chiffons. ...
Craig left the Chiffons in 1968 and they continued as a trio. In 1992, Lee died of a heart attack, and Craig returned to the group. Peterson retired shortly thereafter and was replaced by Connie Harvey. Harvey has since left to pursue a solo career and Bennett has retired from the group. Craig continues with replacement backup singers.
