30 years ago today, #MargueriteMargeGanser, American pop singer ( #TheShangriLas - "Leader of the Pack"), died of breast cancer at 48.
#RIP 🥀🕯️ -
"Leader of the Pack" is a song written by #GeorgeShadowMorton, #JeffBarry, and #EllieGreenwich. It was a number one pop hit in 1964 for the American girl group #theShangriLas. The single is one of the group's best known songs as well as a popular cultural example of a "teenage tragedy song". The song was covered in 1985 by the heavy metal band #TwistedSister, who had a more modest chart appearance with their version (no. 53 in the US).

And a blade shining, oh, so bright.
There’s evil in the air and there’s thunder in sky,
And a killer’s on the bloodshot streets.”#ToddRundgren #KasimSulton #RoyBittan #MaxWeinberg #EllenFoley #RoryDodd #TheShangrilas #BetteMidler #BruceSpringsteen #BonnieTyler #TheClassicRockShow #Epic #GinoPaini

SpaceAce Sunday | The Shangri-Las – Golden Hits of The Shangri-Las (1966, US)
The next album SpaceAce – aka J, our dearly missed friend – submitted to the project is number 1051 on The List.
As previously mentioned in a previous SpaceAce Sunday spotlight, the last few albums J submitted are all from 1966, due to me pointing out that we had no albums from that year on The List at that point and wondering what was up with that. So, that explains why this compilation is here…or does it? While The Shangri-Las did have a couple studio albums (both released in 1965), the name of the game at that time in American pop music was more about hit singles, so I wonder if this compilation – released while the band was still at the height of their popularity – was perhaps their most popular album. I mean, I’m totally guessing here without J’s insight, but I find it curious that this compilation has a volume in the excellent 33 1/3 book series. As far as I know, there aren’t other compilations given the 33 1/3 treatment (other than a soundtrack and a tribute album), so it seems like this one is a special case?
Anyway, I digress! …but, also, now I really want to read the 33 1/3 book, by Ada Wolin. I mean, here’s the blurb on it – don’t you want to read it now too?
Of the many girl-groups that came out of the 1960s, none is more idiosyncratic and influential than the Shangri-Las. They were together only five years, but within that time they subverted pop standards and foreshadowed a generation of tough women in music. Critically, they are not lauded in the way of the Ronettes, and they are certainly not a household name like the Supremes. They were a little too low-brow with an uncouth flair for theatrics that has placed them just left of the girl-group canon.
This book examines the still-elusive validation of 1960s girl-groups as a whole, but also paradoxically aims to free the Shangri-Las from that category, viewing them instead with the sort of individuality traditionally afforded to rock groups. They were somehow able to challenge the status quo under the guise of sticky-sweet pop, a feat not many pop groups can achieve, but which they do fleetingly but not insubstantially in Golden Hits of the Shangri-Las.
For every other 1001 Other Albums spotlight, I’ve listened to the album at least once, either prior to posting or the day of. But, full disclosure: I haven’t yet listened to this album in its entirety because I kind of want to read this book beforehand. The description of The Shangri-Las having a “tough girl” persona doesn’t compute with the bubblegum album cover and the couple of tracks I have heard – and they’re cited as influencing a lot of musicians I respect (e.g., Kim Gordon, Kathleen Hanna, Amy Winehouse) – so I sort of want some context first. Am I overthinking it? Yep! But that’s what I do.
Anyway, thanks J for adding another book to be TBR pile, I’m rather looking forward to listening to this one.
- I can’t find a Songlink for this one, so either try the YT link, or check out the 1996 compilation linked below which has all of the same songs (in a different order) plus a couple extras:

Mary Weiss, Lead Singer of the Shangri-Las, Dies at 75
“I had enough pain in me at the time to pull off anything and get into it and sound believable,” Weiss later recalled in 2001. “You can hear it on the performances. It was very easy for me. The recording studio was the place where you could really release what you were feeling without everybody looking at you.”

I met him at the candy store
He turned around & smiled at me
You get the picture?
(Yes, we see)
That's when I fell for
the Leader of the PackMy folks were always putting him down
They said he came from
the wrong side of town
They told me he was bad
But I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for
the Leader of the Pack

One day, my dad said, "find someone new"
I had to tell my Elon, "we're through"
He stood there and asked me why, but all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you,
the leader of the pack.#RIPTwitterSongs #LeaderOfThePack
