Mary Weiss RIP

FLYING BANANA · 20th January 2024, 10:04

Mary Weiss, the lead singer of 1960’s pop group the Shangri-Las, has died at the age of 75, her record label said.
The US girl group rose to stardom with a run of hit songs about teenage love and tragedy, including Remember (Walking In The Sand) and Leader Of The Pack – which was later inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Weiss took centre stage of the sound and look of the Shangri-Las, helping to pioneer the girl group era alongside the Ronettes.
On Friday, Miriam Linna of Norton Records confirmed Weiss’ death to the PA news agency.
“Mary was an icon, a hero, a heroine, to both young men and women of my generation and of all generations,” Linna said in a statement given to US outlets.

I remember Leader of the pack but I don't knowingly recall Remember

Alas at my age all the singers I used to listen to as a child and teenager, are getting nearer and nearer to meeting their maker.
