Reeves was born in Henderson, NC, and moved to Passaic, NJ, where she co-founded the The Shirelles, discovered by Florence Greenberg at Passaic High School. "I Met Him on a Sunday," written by The Shirelles, was the group's first single. Reeves sang lead for many of The Shirelles' greatest hits including "Mama Said," "Tonight's the Night," "Baby It's You" and "This is Dedicated To The One I Love."
In 1996 Shirley Alston Reeves became a member of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. She continues to perform.
Inspired by the true story of Florence Greenberg, "the woman who in the late 1950s took the male-dominated music industry by storm," Baby It's You! is a new Broadway musical conceived by Floyd Mutrux, directed by Floyd Mutrux and Sheldon Epps, and written by Tony nominated book writers Mutrux and Colin Escott, the team behind Broadway's Million Dollar Quartet.
