Ye-Ye Girls

Anna Maria Quaini, known as Mina, is an Italian pop star who was known as the "bad girl" of the yé-yés thanks to her scandalous relationship (and pregnancy!) with a married actor in the early '60s. Her sex appeal poured over into her lyrics, like in her song "Ta-Ra-Ta-Ta": "The way you smoke, you are irresistible to me, you look like a real man."
