After a few minor Shirelles hits, scepter Records founder Florence Greenberg asked King and Goffin to write the group a song. On the piano in Greenberg's office, King finished a song the team had been working on: "Will You Love Me Tomorrow." "I remember giving her baby a bottle while Carole was writing the song," Greenberg said. Lead singer Shirley Owens initially found the song too countryish for the group, but Dixon's production changed her mind and made it the first Number One for a girl group.
