The Daughters of Eve is considered the first female rock band from Chicago, and the group released four singles during their existence, all produced by Bonafede, before disbanding in 1968.

After several auditions, Bonafede rounded out the original lineup of singers and guitarists Judy Johnson and Marsha Tomal, bassist Andrea Levin, and drummer Debi Pomeroy.

[2] The bandmates were influenced by the male-dominated rock music scene of the period, and they strived to be the exception to the typical band standard.

In 1966, the band signed a contract with USA Records to produce their first single "Hey Lover" b/w "Stand by Me" and their second one, "Symphony of My Soul" b/w "Help Me, Boy".

They still held the status as a popular regional act, but by the end of 1968, the group disbanded after Tomal was wedded and Johnson followed suit soon after.
