RIP Ellie Greenwich



Ellie Greenwich was a prominant and seminal figure in 60's pop music as a creative mind behind such hits as "Be My Baby", "Then He Kissed Me", "Do Da Ron Ron", and one of my personal childhood favorites, "Leader Of The Pack".



When I was younger, this song played soundtrack to numerous daydreams. We listened to the local oldies station more than anything else, and I became familiar with some particular artists over time due to the lack of imagination on the part of whoever decides what gets played on those stations. There were some gems that stuck, though, and Leader of the Pack was definitely one of them.
