R.I.P Ellie Greenwich


Songwriter Ellie Greenwich, who died today at age 68 of a heart attack, helped to shape and popularize the "girl group" sound of the early '60s that included such acts as the Ronettes, the Shangri-Las and the Crystals, becoming, in the process, one of the most respected pop songwriters of the era.

You'll find an eulogy here.
