Ellie Greenwich Obit

I mentioned Ellie Greenwich dying HERE; her obituary in the New York Times is worth reading.
In 1964 alone, 17 singles by Ms. Greenwich and Mr. Barry landed on the pop charts, according to “Always Magic in the Air,” a 2005 book by Ken Emerson about the Brill Building days.

And I had forgotten Leader of the Pack, which obviously influenced anything Steinman/Springsteenish. Fucking christ.
