The Flirtations were an all-female American R&B vocal group active in the 1960s. They were notable for their soulful harmonies and pop-infused Motown sound. The group, originally consisting of Viola Billups, Betty Pearce, and Earnestine Pearce, achieved significant success in the UK, with hits such as "Nothing But a Heartache." Despite significant lineup changes over the years, The Flirtations' music has left a lasting legacy in the Northern Soul scene.
