Shangri-Las - Remembered (Singles, B-Sides & More) [2008] (3 x CD's)

Mary Weiss, lead singer of the Shangri-Las, dies age 75. R.I.P.

Mary Weiss (December 28, 1948 – January 19, 2024) was an American singer, best known as the lead singer of the Shangri-Las in the 1960s. She then vanished from the music scene for decades, returning in 2007 to record her first solo album with Norton Records.

Shangri-Las - Remembered (Singles, B-Sides & More) is a three CD set from the popular 60's girl group. The Shangri-Las mix of bubblegum and melodramatic Pop earned them a string of hits including the worldwide smashes 'Leader of the Pack' and 'Remember (Walking in the Sand)'. Those tracks are included here along with 35 other gems including A-sides, B-sides, early singles, LP cuts and even two spoofs of Shangri-Las tracks by the Detergents! Golden Stars. The Shangri-Las are one of the best girl groups ever. It's always nice to hear the Shangri-Las. They and their team made some of the most memorable songs in the "girl-group" canon. Seriously, even many of their non-hits are classics of the genre. And those voices! So memorable. They certainly deserve to be anthologized in a boxset. (Amazon)

    1. Hi lemonflag.
      I this will be the norm for the next few years. Those artists that we enjoyed in our youth will depart.
      It's sad but it's their legacy we continue to enjoy and remember them by.
      Cheers.
