The great songwriter and singer Ellie Greenwich died earlier this year. Don’t recognise the name? These song titles might jog your memory: And then he kissed me? Leader of the Pack?
The first clip is a track recorded by Ellie herself, looking oh-so-60s with straight, blunt cut hair, thick fringe, dark eye make-up, pale lips and THAT outfit.

In a later collaboration with Phil Spector and Jerry Barry, she wrote I can Hear Music, recorded by The Ronettes. A later version by The Beach Boys is one of my favourite songs.
How can they not be distracted by Mike Love’s whackiness?
